It sounds like it'll be very handy.

I am so sorry.

A penguin brute, who happens to lack a mouth, has a tail, and "it knows and intones the names of all it encounters".
Big mouthless tailed penguin is watching you.

Wait, how does it intone names without a mouth?

I think a mandate system is a fine way to handle large-scale transactions, but what about individual purchases? Dwarfs should have some initiative on purchasing personal goods from these outside sources; rather than having to micromanage purchases tailoring to each individual dwarf's desire, your dwarfs could go up to the traders themselves and attempt to purchase that wine they enjoy. Hell, there's a lot of potential for individual interaction between your citizens and visitors besides trading. They could simply talk and obtain some information, they could start a friendship, they could dislike each other and start a fight, they could even make deals and give services without your intervention. A dwarf's personality, which has been somewhat neglected, could certainly play a large and very interesting role with intelligent creatures that aren't under your direct contol.
