No. Not until some momentum on a spec is happening.

Yes

Ideally, yes

Even though we only intend to implement activities/intents for webapps, we 
still plan to keep them off of Release (Beta and GA) until we feel the 
experience is working well enough. We don't have plans to implement 
activities/intents for general browser-based web sites. As you point out, we 
need some standardization first.
