Edge gestures are so fast and intuitive to use, I don't think they should be reserved for apps. The two I find particular useful are the top-edge down to access messages and the bottom-edge up to access your Task Manager.
Have you used a phone with an off-screen touch area? Using them for global command makes perfect sense to me. The apps can use whatever gestures they want inside the bezel.
