Agreed. I just thought I'd share so you know that at least they've thought about it.
Also, re: Pepper. The out of universe answer is that Ms. Paltrow's Marvel contract has expired and she wants a LOT of money to come back (or so rumor has it). They probably want to save that for the next Iron Man movie instead of paying for a cameo in a movie that was already stuffed with actor salaries (I'm looking at you RDJ).
