You mean, if the basic requirement is to make no changes at all to rmail-out itself? In that case, you are probably right, but why would we self-impose such a restriction? If we want to support BBDB, why not modify rmail-out to be capable of such support? (I admit I don't understand what exactly is entailed in "using a BBDB field as a target name", so perhaps if you elaborate on that, we will find some way of doing that without changing rmailout.el.)
