Much of the recent gridlock in the meetings has been as a result of trying to do what you suggest. If at least discussing in advance, if not actually voting, can happen, the SLOB might actually be able to get more things done in the meetings.

It could simplify referencing previous decisions, in particular providing a search engine handle which could be used to reconcile authorized expenditures. And motions could be more easily listed for governance history.

Dave and I have already done this with Motions A, B, C, and D. (In CA we use both letters and numbers for propositions).
