A similar approach (only for DVD, for only these were available back then) was called RatDVD. As you can see even google has some troubles in finding relevant information. Dead and forgotten.

The point is why "inventing" a new format that mirrors and existing one? RatDVD had an excuse, it further compressed the DVD to 50% (lossy). The same rationale MP3 had - the HDDs were comparably smaller back then. What would be the purpose of MKV mirroring the BDMV? For there is already a format mirroring the BDMV one, the ISO (the image).
