It is a brilliant idea, and it sounds good for mileage, though I have my doubts towards this.

Engines are made of metal, there is no guarantee that all the water is exhaust out of the engine. What if there is a more than traceable amount of water in the engine, won't we then have rust?
With current tight tolerances in engines, won't even minimal rust compromise the engine?
Then the second thing is hydrolock. I'm sure most people that has anything to do with performance in their cars will know what that is. Anything goes wrong in that engine, water inside cylinders will result to hydrolock and we have a dead engine. While computer electronics can control it, introducing such a element in an engine doesn't seem like a boost of reliability to me.
Last thing is the rapid heating and cooling of the engine rapidly. I don't think many common elements can withstand that kind of abuse easily without breaking down prematurely.
