I would love this as well, as I'm constantly noticing that I'm sober again, and I only have the VI's that my jewlery provides me. For my item only guy, it's not only a difference of 10 points... until he hits the lottery and finds replacements for all of his gear.
And, in case you are wondering, I have all magic filtered, so I can see what's going on without having to see spell expiration notices all the time. It's not a HUGE deal that my attributes fall back to VI's.. but I do notice it when they do.
