It's something that I'd like to experiment with in the future but there is a very considerable amount of work involved because it would require a totally different meshing mechanism than the current mesher.

Things that involve a huge amount of work are difficult to promise as far as when and if they will actually become implemented.

In general the mesh output from MoI is meant to be rendered, not to be used for a sub-d control cage. If you need sub-d friendly output you should generally plan on doing retopology work to make a sub-d friendly topology using a mesh editing program.

See these previous posts for some description on this:
