I don't believe that those questions have definitive answers at the moment. In fact, some of them can only be responded once the Director gets a charter to approve. I will say however that we're looking into it but you might have to wait a few months for a start of an answer. The previous tentative back in August didn't lead us far unfortunately. In the meantime, the main mission of the HTML Working Group is to finish HTML5 sooner rather than later, Philippe
