I can give you my opinions. Not sure if they match up with Ian's or
not. :)

to the datagrid be reflected back to the DOM?
I would expect a DOM data source to be updated.
* Is the datagrid a replaced element for the purposes of CSS or
tree of anonymous/generated boxes?
Yes, I would expect that it would be a replaced element (just like
<select> listboxes).
* What parts (if any) are expected to map to native widgets in
Cocoa/Win32/GTK+?
I would expect a data grid to look like an NSOutlineView on Mac.
* Is datagrid useful for any purpose without scripting? If yes,
please give an example.
Sure. It's useful in form submission just as a listbox would be.
* What is datagrid expected to look like in visual UAs?
The platform's native multi-column tree widget.
* Is datagrid rendering expected to have pixel-consistent metrics
across visual UAs?
No. Mac would use Lucida Grande for the font, use NSOutlineView
defaults for rows, etc. Windows might use a tree with grid lines
(and +/- signs like Explorer), etc.
