You -- no.

Just MacOS 10.5 also will include 3.0 release of ICU.
I think they have fix bugs there, may be some improvements.

Yes, and this will work with sets.
I think most people will find this very useful and more easier for use than
SQL queries. Besides I am going implement support of this operations
directly in the indexes on low level. So it should be even more effective
than in 1.x.

On hold.

I believe that Index By words this is the last big task for us.
After it we simply will start add more and more examples and fix such bugs.
