I don't think this is an improvement for sail shape. It moves the clew to leeward more than anything. It would also raise the attachment point of the blocks and reduce the ability to sheet harder reducing the ability to point higher. or reduce the ability to rake the mast aft.
The bridle on the Sunfish is more about going over the tiller I think... not improved performance.
The traveler system for the Wave is designed to improve off-the-wind performance and allow the main to move to leeward a bit for higher wind performance. Travel down and sheet harder when going upwind in high winds.
