Taking Bounties on someone in your Bracket.

Since taking a bounty on someone in your bracket takes PvP Rating, I was thinking that if you lose a fight to someone on the bounty board while clearing someone in your bracket you might lose experience too.

I would like to see xp loss taken one step further. If someone loses clearing a bounty on another in their band or in a 'lower band' they should lose xp.
BG stated previously that players' overwhelmingly didn't want xp loss for the BHer, and I agree to a point. Taking bountys of players much higher than you is difficult. Taking them the same level or lower I believe losses should incur xp loss.
I'm of the school that thinks ALL attacks should take/lose xp, gold and rating(only within a band). I understand the sentiment that 2%s occur and that taking a bounty many 100s of levels higher is challenging. The BHer risks being bountied himself. However, I believe that I should be punished by xp and gold loss if I lose to a player in my own band(include rating loss) or lower.

There is already little reward from completing bounties plus costs to take them and risk that a bounty hunter will be bountied in turn. Do they really need more setbacks?
Right as I type this I have someone that is trying to farm rating from me by taking my bounty. Since I was much higher rating then him every hit he loses he loses 1 rating but ever hit he wins he gets 6-12 rating. So the over all effect is him pummeling me with SB since:
04:02 09/Feb/2011 XXXXX has just accepted to undertake the bounty which was placed upon you by XXXXX!
and in the end he will actually increase his rating. Yes it's been 4 hours.

No! Absolutely not! The bounty board is there for punishment for the players that dont want to hit back themselves. Bounty hunters should never be punished for doing their job!!!
+1
the bounty board is a punishment system,, if xp loss happened to the hunter it would destroy the Board as no one would attempt to clear the higher levels for fear of losing levels themselves.
this would allow the higher level free reign to hit whoever they want repeatedly because no one would clear them.

pvpers dont fear lossing xp or levels
and if that was so, why do 'pvpers' have in their bios i will only hit you for ladder points and not xp loss.
if some so called pvpers didnt fear losing levels or xp why arent they pushing for xp loss across the whole 50level range.
