Yes, but then the buyer knows they're only getting Steem OR Hive.
If I know the snapshot was yesterday, and you assume its tomorrow, I can sell you postfork Steem (no hive drop), as prefork Steem. You buy expecting to get both after the fork, and get disappointed since its not steem you were holding before the snapshot.
Happily this won't be an issue as they've announced the snapshot and fork will be simultaneous, which is definitely best :)
From a technical standpoint this should be possible, so yes!
Then you get double spends. Anyone who knows the snapshot is passed, can sell their tokens without losing them on the new/sister chain.
That will happen anyways when the snapshot date passes, no?

Saw that they will be excluding accounts beyond just the steemit.inc accounts. That doesn't seem like a good way to start things out.
