Building a disc capable fork

If one were building a disc fork(I'm thinking about it) would it be stronger by using a beefy chainstay for the blades? For instance the combo below from Nova. Is the main problem building a disc fork the tendency for the blade to "unrake", and why/why not use the beefiest blade/stay available? I've read quite a few threads on the subject but I don't remember seeing the tandem stays as a solution. Any reason a bi-plane crown shouldn't be use with a disc fork?
