Hell yes its nuts, but lots of good things are. But if you want to do it, and they want to do it, go for it. I've never been in a polyamorous relationship, but I'm assuming they function in similar ways to non-poly relationships. A lot of it is about timing. Screw up the timing and it is not going to work. Make sure EVERYONE involved is ready to take such a big damn step. Make sure everyone is being honest about how ready they are. This couple may have agreed because they felt disagreeing at this point would be an ending. But hell, if they are for it and you are for it, you might as well try it.
I was also thinking you might want to look for a polyamorous message board (or usenet) and just see what people who have done this sort of thing have to say about it.
