The point of the exercise escapes me, however, and I don't know what exactly is being proposed. Wouldn't a retro-clone done with 3e/4e rules simply just be 3e/4e? Or, is this some method for porting 1e characters up to 3e/4e games?
Neither.

It's a way to streamline 1e's combat mechanics, while staying true to the 1e math. Basically, it's 1e without the need for a combat matrix. (And, I should note, without the need to apply any to-hit modifiers to the target's AC rather than sensibly, to the attack roll.)
