Yep, thanks Ron!

Q 1) was with the restriction that the User Story was ripped. I think my option 
right now is to not ripping the user story, but to save it if needed. (Maybe 
not needed if I still got the Big Picture in my head)

Agreed, and the design space is spanned with user stories in their simplest 
form.
 
And, therefore I like to keep them.
 
I like also to think in terms of expanding the User Stories into Use Cases, to 
capture the interesting design issues.

For example: User Interfaces and maybe also non-functional requirements, that 
is interfacing to some function, can be expressed in the 
"user-story-exapnded-to-a-use-case."

Does that answer your question?
