If they would be considered as one, it wouldn't be LVM anymore. LVM is a pure block device layer, and as such will always have to FS layered above. However, stuff like Solaris ZFS does make sense, too, if you ask me. Having a filesystem managing several block devices allows for pretty neat stuff, such as per-file replication or striping, which would be really sweet. That said, such a thing would, of course, be completely unrelated to LVM.
