I actually ran a game like this over the summer.  I
called it "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen"
(based on comic by the same name), and it was a TON of
fun.  A lot more light-hearted than normal BNW, and
the victorian setting really brings a sense of
daring-do to it.  Plus, it such great lines!

"What do you mean, the queen just turned into a burly
scotsman?!"

Ever since then, i've been trying to build it into a
full-fledged game world.  I bought GURPS Castle
Falkenstein, and will have a copy of Space: 1889
shortly.
