1. For the sake of my argument, let's say all of them. :)

2. No, we don't. Which is somewhat the point: the user agent has zero
understanding of federations today, so this isn't something we can reason
about at all. I think the (reasonable!) argument you and Adrian are making
is that the API doesn't provide full understanding of federations. My
(hopefully reasonable?) response is that I think it provides enough of a
hook to be valuable in itself, and lays the groundwork for additions in the
future.
