Good idea. I could almost see calling the classes "x inches" based on seat pitch.
It also might make sense to have LD Coach and Corridor Coach (with better names), because there is so much more space, and leg rests, in LD coach. (I remember they used to recognize that on the Night Owl by having one old ex SF coach with, as I recall, more leg room and leg rests set aside as the through coach from Boston to Washington for more comfort and uninterrupted sleep, although they didn't charge or ticket differently for it.) In any case, someone with only NEC or other corridor experience might be more reluctant to ride coach all day (or overnight) than someone who knew they'd get a couple more square feet in LD coach.
