I like what Jane has to say about keeping it small and unadulterated. Sadly far too often "mainstream" does mean watered down or sexless. Don't get me wrong I'm not looking for "Torchwood" levels of raunch but some gay stuff makes me cringe because it pulls back for fear of offending.
I've gotten tired of seeing love between gay couples represented by a sensitive, comforting hand on a shoulder or a chaste hug. In order to break a taboo you have to, y'know, break it.
I'm also keen on the premise, that having gotten married in a somewhat foolhardy manner, the protagonists will possibly have to struggle somewhat to make it work. Not only will that provide the drama, but it sounds an awful lot like real life, and not some anodyne Hollywood fantasy.
On another point I think it's dead sweet that Joss's advice to Jane was to seek out Felicia Day. Something about the sense of community these guys have simply warms the cockles of my heart. And there's not much nicer than warm cockles. ;-)

And yeah, the "talk to Felicia Day" thing was awesome! =)

Situation comedy isn't my favorite genre, but I definitely want to check this out.
