Yes, I understood what you were saying. The mount itself should allow
for a 35mm size sensor (but possibly not with a telecentric design,
which is part of this discussion). My only comment was that while it
would be possible I can't really see Olympus going that route because
their current lens lineup is composed of lenses that don't cover a
35mm frame.
At the very least, they'd probably want to make a slight change to the
mount such as what C*n*n did with the EF-S lenses so that it's not
possible to mount 4/3 lenses on a 35mm sized body.
