Genghis - that's called LAHSO (Land and Hold Short Operations) and they do it (and I've done it) in the US, but not here.
Thank you, I've seen it in the USA also, but didn't know the terminology.
Whenever I've seen it, it's in a controlled field, where it's timed so that in the event of a go-around you are doing it in a time-slot that ensures no prang. Seems sensible, but not something that you could possibly allow traffic to sort out for itself.
