I have seen a few Skirts in my day but this one is a little different.
It isn't mounted to the router but to the Z Axis fixed base. You would adjust the height for the right interference to the top of the work. And it would remain at the same height all the time. The skirt wouldn't collapse and make gaps as the router moved lower. This would be most useful on flat surface work.
What do you think?

Thanks everyone for your comments, I have added them into this original posting.
PROS:
* Not in the way when changing tools.
* A better seal because it maintains the same optimum height no matter how deep you are cutting, which can cause gapping.
* Easy on and off
CONS:
* Material hold down clamps higher than the bristle area would have to be avoided.
