I am late to this discussion.

1.  Can I assume you are talking about newly designed/licensed/built 
Leica lenses and NOT Existing R lenses?

2.  Can R lenses be adapted to fit this new camera/standard?

3.  If so, can I assume they will function in the same manner as a Leica 
R lens on a Canon digital?  (stop-down metering).

4. Sounds like the imaage stabilization is built into the lens rather 
than the body.  Is this correct about the Panasonic/Leica DSLR's?  And 
does Olympus have this feature?
