GPS accuracy

Apolagies if this has been done before.
Gaunty raised an issue in another thread that I have often wondered about.
With GPS accuracy being what it is, why is there no law saying you must fly a little right of track, say 0.2nm, that would give at least 500m between each a/c in case of some sort of vertical separation cock-up.
Are some pilots doing this, or similar already?
For those of you doing sched IFR regularly do you even think it's an issue? Cheers, cjam
