Avoid head-on collision? Forward facing LED strobe?

It would be cool if you could interface it to the PowerFlarm and have it activate only when PF detected an aircraft within a mile of you. Or you could keep the blink rate low until you visually see another glider, then boost the frequency and intensity. If both gliders had this feature, it would confirm when the other glider has you in sight. One recurrent problem with a glider approaching head on is that you cannot read the tail number to give him a heads up on the radio. I guess you could always say "Glider approaching head-on" to get his attention. What would be a good "heads-up" radio call in this situation?
