I have no idea Dave - and I am not going to quote the usual phrase of "if you think .... then try an accident". But when you consider that ATC can now see (for example) the preset altitude and the actual pressure setting used (+ a myriad of other stuff) on their screens I am sure the boffins could work something out without it being prohibitive. Cabin altitude is already a recorded parameter on virtually all modern FDRs. And when you consider how much biz jet owners are willing to spend on their expensive kit then such a safety related item would be relative peanuts. Particularly if it was either mandated or would attract a discount in insurance premiums - like many other safety related options do. Think of the days before OFDM was mandated (or GPWS or TCAS or .........).
But what are the general thoughts on Magplug's idea?
