Yes, sorry but it is difficult to plan on-the-fly with all these different time zones. :(

I do see the point that it may be worth noting that there is an image of a Panda/Violin/Brain. However, I also agree that they are more decorative than informative. I'll raise it for discussion and let's see what the others think. We may need to raise to EOWG too for more feedback if we do not find consensus.

True, it is priority 3 but really good practice and very easy to fix. Just change the color in the CSS and you got yourself a P3 checkpoint. However, I'm not the right person to pick colors and so need to bug Klaus (designer) about this.

I guess this is another debatable issue. But I do think that starting the document with <h1> is generally the better practice (though not essential for accessibility IMHO).

We do have the title and the character set which are really essential for user agents. We will add copyright and author too (using the META tag). Anything else specific?
