I'll leave most of the questions to Dan, but several questions are related 
to the implementation detail of vanity naming...

Yes.

These are used to persist dev_t of a physical link. For example, a ce0 link, 
its major number would be "ce" and its minor would be 0, so that when an 
application opens "ce0", or some driver calls mac_open("ce0"), the kernel 
knows to hold the corresponding ce0 device, as the result, "ce0" mac can be 
registered.

But I am wondering whether it is correct to list all these implementation 
details in the document.
