I was doing that on my CX bike. I have since become a lot more comfortable with tubeless setups and have dropped the tube. However, my relative just wouldn't want to deal with a tubeless setup... while it's not complicated, he gets frustrated very easily with things that most consider simple.

The Vittoria Air Liner looks like a simple solution for him, but dang... what an over-priced piece of foam! Makes me wonder if I can just buy one of those foam pool toys from WalMart and stuff it in a tire for way less money!
