No-chill containers

Has anyone experimented with the use of a flexible heat-proof container for holding the wort between the boil and pitching?
Consider the following picture:

* Transfer the wort immediately after flame-out.
* Screw on lid
* purge by squeezing until wort comes out of the little nub (which appears non-drilled in this pic)
* Chill overnight
In my thinking, the wort would only be exposed to o2 while solubility is at its lowest. At $7, it's a lot cheaper than an SS chiller for the LODO-curious.
