And those notes do not correspond to the "E minor chord"(E,G,B). That is closer to the "Em7" chord(E,G,B,D). So, the "A note" you suggested is out of place.
So, I don`t see that as an alternative tuning. It`ll be difficult to play scales let alone chords.

Yeah, my sentiments exactly...I guess it's an Em7 with a suspended 4... Could always tune that A to an F and make it a 9th chord for the hell of it... Heh, then remove the B and tune that to an A, or leave the A and tune the B to F and you'd have an 11th chord without the fifth. This is fun! You should totally tune it to an 11th chord, then just bar everything.

Actually, in all honesty, I wouldn't tune both bottom strings to the same note. Like equator said, it will make chords and scales quite the difficult thing, and unless you change the tuning to an open chord (preferably without that E on the 5th string...make THAT the F or perhaps leave it an A) it's going to be more of an inconvenience than a wellspring for creativity.
