1. This breaks forward compatibility of existing themes, does it not? If old themes won't work on 2.0, every existing theme will need to be updated before the upgrade. Is there a way that this can be done so that header.html and footer.html are used if header.php and footer.php are not present in the file?

2. Absolutely leave <head> in the theme. Theme designers should be able to edit <head> however they see fit; don't restrict them any further than they already are. Just because most themes just copy and paste this code does not mean that all themes do the same.

If new functionality requires something to be added to head, add it as an include so that it can be easily added to existing themes by all.
That was a typo I created when playing around with the values for my demonstrated blockquote. The Moodle auto-format was filtering out some of my CSS choices and I was editing and pasting and editing and pasting so much that I left an error. Here you go:

blockquote {
margin-left: 35px;
padding-left:5px;
border-left:2px solid #ffe39d;
color:#555;
}

Top and bottom margins should be auto-formated in by the paragraph tags.
