I know the levers aren't but is there any reason why you can't put cantilever brake pads on brake calipers? As far as I can see they just apply pressure to the rim.
In my experience, BMX pads are softer, but work OK if they have a similar fitting.
I think it's all about the fittings and clearances... I know some early V-brakes take cantilever (grooved post) pads and can't take threaded-post-and-washers pads sold for modern V-brakes and that I hate setting up brakes that use grooved post pads
