It’s interesting to read the comments, and the Microsoft replies – about what is currently missing from “universal” and why Silverlight is more suitable, at present.

Yes I did see that. WinRT comes to Phone 8.1 so you can run mostly shared code on phone, tablet and desktop (after a big refactor). That's great for people who want to do that, but not me at the moment due to the fact that the job I'm on requires phone 8.0. However, it's good to know this small convergence exists in case it's useful for future projects -- GK
