Unfortunately the perceived brutality of kicks and stomps in general due to these specific uses will be what keeps them out of north American MMA.
I used to argue for allowing stomps in the cage, until I saw Mir vs Sims and then listened to some discussion about the dangers in a cage as compared to a ring. I'd still like to see them allowed on a trial basis.
I still think kicks and knees to the head of a downed opponent need to be allowed. They are no less brutal than elbows to the head of a downed opponent (which promotions like Strikeforce don't allow). Also, at a minimum kicks to the head when performed as an upkick should be allowed.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”

Did anyone watch the Strikeforce:Houston show? Some good fights, but it's clear that besides the HW division, Strikeforce's fighters would get owned by the UFC's fighters.
Jacare and Feijao both won championships at MW and LHW respectively. The Jacare fight was disappointing, looked like a typical Okami fight.
The Bobby Lashley and King Mo hype trains were both derailed.
