In concept, it would make for cool duels. And I agree, it's kinda cool...
The problem is in the design of the lightsaber hilt. The right angle the hilt creates with the blade on a traditional longsword is meant to protect the hand when your opponent's blade slides down towards your hand, and is stopped by the hilt.
But if you look (not even) closely, that right angle is made from the base/handle itself, and not the light blade. So if the opponents light saber slid down the blade towards your hilt, it would simply lop off one side of the hilt, and possibly your hand.
