Jeff Bentley,

You should know that when you are at deco you are basically at rest. 
CO2 retention is not much of a problem when you are not exerting
yourself.  Even with skip breathing you are offgassing plenty of CO2 at
deco since you are at rest.

The deco ceiling is there for a reason.  If you were in a cave with an
emergency and low on air would you continue to breathe normally or would
you simply breathe out your gas as you suggested for the decompression
stops. ?

Ommited decompression probably won't kill you but it will hurt like
hell.  Why would you argue against trying to extend your gas supply and
your deco time by breathing at a slower rate when an emergency would
dictate it?
