On this basis, surely the most pressing need for Oyster was never for
long-term season tickets at all, but for pre-pay customers?

Actually, how will they administer this? Would you be able to decide you
want a one day travelcard before you set out, then arrange it online, then
get on at your local busstop, swipe the oyster, and not be charged for the
single bus journey?

Capping. It will (probably) work like this:

a) Make one bus journey. 70p off Oyster.
b) Second bus journey 70p off Oyster.
c) Third bus journey 70p off Oyster (£2.10 deducted)
d) Fourth bus journey 40p off Oyster (£2.50 - deducted - price
of One Day Bus Pass from Jan 04)
e) Fifth bus journey 0p off Oyster
... and so on.

The 'cap' rises to the price of a One Day Travelcard if you use the
Underground.
