Sounds like an interesting idea.
Is this what you mean? (The following constitutes the layout of the
bottom row of that section of the keyboard):
[Emacs] ["Meta"] [Alt] [Space] [Alt] ["Meta"] [Menu] [Emacs]

Just checked out the HHKB; pretty slick.
The one I'm designing is a 104-key US ANSI layout design.
Here is the bottom row in order from left to right:
ORIGINAL:
[Ctrl] ["Meta"] [Alt] [Space] [Alt] ["Meta"] [Menu] [Ctrl]
WIP (Work in Progress):
[Ctrl] [ Emacs Super / "Meta"] [Emacs META / Alt] [Space] [Emacs META /
Alt] [ Emacs Hyper / "Meta"] [Menu] [Ctrl]
