That is a spectacular set of information. Awesome.

My current issue isn't the charging right now, though: I have no trouble getting the thing to charge these days, the problem is getting it to put the audio out on the dock pins. My startup-order dependency is that it always charges, it just won't put audio out on the dock pins unless I dock it before applying power to the charger. If I do it the other way round, then the audio comes out through the iphone speaker. This was, I think, reproducible with indoor apple chargers too, but of course only on my modified plug (with pin 11 grounded and the 68k resistor on the accessory pin).
