3) Is there a way to put text in the emblem, rather than an image. Right now, I'm using SVG images to fake it, but the alignment and font size is noticeably off.
 I don't think this is possible at the moment.

 Is it worth submitting a bug about this?

By all means!

4) Is there any way to run an additional query to load more results when then user scrolls to the bottom of the query page? I'm purposefully not trying to get all the results at first, but the pull-for-more behavior seems very natural and a compliment to the pull-for-refresh at the top.
There is no support for incremental result delivery such as this. If you have lots of results, the shell will automatically add a "Shore more" button or some such, but there is no way for explicit paging that would fetch more results from the backend in response to a user action right now.

In my case, Google with throttle me if I try to request too many results at once. Having the ability to query the server only when the user needs more results would be very useful. Shall I create a bug here?

Yes, go ahead. It'll most likely end up on a wishlist though. I don't think we'll be able to do this quickly.

I realize that this isn't critical for operation. But it really feels to me like this is one of those touches that'll really make a difference in terms of UX. I could add a result to the bottom of the list that'd run a new query to get the next page of results. The user would be conscious of this interaction, whereas they would not need to think about the pull-to-load-more at all. You just try to get more results, and then they show up.

Thanks,
Robert
