It would seem to be a logical step.  It would be nice if they teamed up with
Nikon -- using Nikon's digital technology (from the D1) and ensuring
backward compatibility with either M or R glass.

Yeah, like *that's* ever going to happen.

The only worrying thing is that a digital Leica R or M is going to have lots
of electronics in it.  And we know what Leica's track record with
electronics is, don't we boys and girls...?
