I think it would be wise to support Default and Handheld; is there much demand 
for Classic these days?  Handheld may still be used for various handheld 
devices, eg. PDA's, mobile phones, etc - quite plain and simple (and fast) 
anyway?

Essential.

Essential.  I guess onebrowser will break my Playlist Manager plugin too, but I 
can update that if I ever take to this new version.

Yes - essential.  I use it quite frequently - really useful to search for 
specific field values.

Very essential.  I guess that you just included it in the list for 
completeness, not because you were contemplating not having it?

Would have thought Breadcrumbs have to be fully complete, or not provided at 
all.

Would have thought this would be reasonably important to fix.

Not sure what this means.

Essential for ip3k & web.
Still think it's worth also having for SP for consistency.  Shouldn't be much 
effort to also apply to SP and once done, shouldn't need much maintenance in 
the long term?
