all sounds good to me.

just so I understand this correctly: One eissn and one issn would still be
OK, yes. You just don't want two cs:issn elements - correct?
I actually asked Elsevier about availability of data on journals and
citation styles and while they were quite nice (I just caught someone
random on chat), they said they didn't have it.
It might be possible to write a script since the examples they use and the
layout off the author-guidelines page are the same across most journals,
but that'd be more involved.
And of course thanks for your heroic work on the dependent styles.
