This seems like a good idea to me too, and Mark's proposed method of
implementation also makes sense to me. Also, one might want to consider
giving small negative bonuses for certain skills to certain classes. For
example, perhaps give warlocks a small negative bonus to
one/two-handed-weapons skills, and barbarians a small negative bonus to
literacy and/or spellcasting when they obtain those skills.
