Yes.

Yes.

No.  The `base' note has a length of 1/1.

No, my idea is that everything `longer' than the base not gets ignored
(causing a warning).

I know that we are talking about syntactical sugar.  What Graham
suggests can be always written with << ... >> constructs.  However, I
share his feeling that many people (including me) are quite
uncomfortable with using parallel music for attaching a crescendo to a
note.  Actually, for complicated situations, << ... >> is
certainly more appropriate, but for simple cases I want a simpler
notation.
