The BD disk is much closer to the good old floppy 3.5" than the current batch of CD & DVD disks. You should be able to treat the BD disk like a Floppy or a Flash drive. This will hopefully have other advantageous when authoring a BD Movie disk there will not be these great delays determining the lead in and out tracks. The floppies are sector based - so am I lead to believe will be the BD's (based on the Apple disk structure). There is no technical reason why the BD disk for data be treated like a normal drive. Even for movies it should be simpler than with DVD's - however not quite as simple as a floppy.
