TurboTim, you actually imagined pretty closely all gasoline DI is. Its just an ultra-pressurized fuel rail equally plumbing x number of hard lines emitting directly into the combustion chamber.
That's why the bosses you saw behind the exhaust valves looked so small; they only need to be as wide as a (super durable) fuel line. I think Ford's engineers plan to put them on the exhaust side for the cooling effect of the fuel charge so they can go even leaner. The fuel tubes don't have to make a straight shot, but that would be optimal of course. Imagine getting ultra lean burn mode (50+/1 AFR's) like the CRX HF & modern hybrids on a big dirty 400+ whp V8. That's what Ford is cooking up right now in Dearborn.
