It's not instant dilution. If the stock splits forward and a 10% dividend is paid, the price is reduced, but the market cap remains the same. It is not the same as if additional shares were sold to the public, or used to pay for services.

Perhaps this could force some short covering? If a mkt maker is naked short, the brokerage firm will need to settle up with DTC. Just a thought. My fingers are crossed.
