These are just minor questions and comments, but its the little things that makes a product truly shine.
In the index of existing Birthright products, the magazine articles are listed as being "Unofficial" in parenthesis. This seems incorrect, since the the various Dungeons & Dragons magazines were, and remain, 100% official material, for Birthright and everything else. Furthermore, none of the Birthright dungeon material appears in the magazine list. This strikes me as a curious exclusion, since I know there was at least one ("Seeking Bloodsilver").
I'm also curious about the d20 Birthright team's stance on 3.5E and d20 Birthright. I personally hope that they'll endeavor to upgrade d20 Birthright to 3.5E, especially considering the revised edition will have its changes posted for free in the SRD, and this document is still only a playtest one, and would be due for a revision anyway.
I'm also slightly curious about some of those unpublished materials. While some of them have been made available via WotC on their website, is there a way to find out more, or possibly even see, the others? Some of them look very compelling indeed.

Yes we are going to update once 3.5 comes out. Of course that would be after everyone digestes it (all three books in one month - there will be a lot of poor people then).
Things appearing in Dragon Magazine are not (nor have they every been) always considered "100% official". This is due to the fact that many independent "authors" are used. Presently Dragon is being published by a separate company and is only "looked over" by the WotC staff. It is completely independent in its choice of material. Pretty much only things listed as Official D&D material are to be considered "Official", e.g., Sage Advice "these are considered official errata", the previews of 3.5, etc.
Seeking Bloodsilver is listed under the "unofficial" products. It is the only mention of Birthright in Dungeon that anyone on the team has ever heard of.
The remaining unpublished material was listed basically because the titles were mentioned in one way or another by members of the WotC team. As far as anyone knows there was never enough of any of the unavailable products written to made availabel by WotC.:)Duane Eggert
