I think its ludicrous to suggest that after 3-6 months of abstinence, in the grips of protracted withdrawal syndrome living in fairly consistent agony that to take flumazenil is 'nasty' and 'dangerous'. Especially considering any decent facility with respectable doctors are going to proceed cautiously with initially small and gently escalating doses, and a bucket full of backup options. That being said, I certainly wouldnt go this route without a LONG period free of all benzos.
The Coleman Institute (http://www.thecolemaninstitute.com/benzodiazepine-xanax-addiction-detox.html) does this.
Lots of people on benzowithdrawal and benzobuddies have gone there. There are no positive reports. It can and has made things worse for many people.
I guess he is also working on a flumazenil implant -- it is being tested on sheep at the moment
EDIT: Guess australia is looking into it as well -- http://www.druginfo.adf.org.au/news..._of_a_new_treatment_for_benzodiazepine_withdr
