As Alan said, that won't work-- it will not be relayed across the
network because it isn't a valid transaction until it has enough
signatures.

Formats and protocols for gathering signatures are in the TODO
category-- Alan's BIP 10 is the next piece of the puzzle, maybe a
standardized http/https RESTful API, or HTTP/JSON, or protocol buffers
and raw sockets, or... something... solution (or solutions) built on
top of that makes sense.
I don't think partially-signed transactions belong on the main Bitcoin
P2P network, mostly because I don't see any way of preventing somebody
from endlessly spamming bogus, will-never-be-completed partial
transactions just to be annoying.
