Unfortunately, a 3.3V supply rules out a good number of AVR8s for F_CPU

After looking over the datasheet linked in your OP, I have been wondering if the following setup might work:
Operate the MCU from the 5V from the USB port and feed the 3.3V pin on the USBUF02W6 with a pair of GP diodes in series. The datasheet is lacking in information about in internal ZD's but it's a reasonably safe bet they will tolerate 5V and therefore act in very much the same way as the (wiki prescribed) ZD hardware approach.

This idea is untested ofcourse!

Certainly looks interesting but doesn't it also require a 3.3V supply? If so then we still need to use a LDO regulator or series diode voltage drop. However, given all the added bonuses like EMI & ESD protection it is probably well worth considering for any commercial app.

It sure looks like it

neat part: USBUF02W6 USB buffer

I found a neat little component USBUF02W6 which is basically a bunch of resistors, capacitors, and diodes, built into one package. All you need is provide a 3.3V signal to it.

This one component should in theory replace all of the 68 ohm resistors, zener diodes, and the pull-up resistor that most V-USB based circuits currently use. Am I correct?
