yes.

I think so.

> 5) Does the proposed approach fit well with the design of CellML?

not really. The design philosophy of CellML is to utilise existing
standards where possible. I seem to recall the original intention for
the inclusion of required procedural code in a model was through the
csymbol mechanism you describe, but the code referenced is defined in a
standard format - with ECMAScript the preferred choice at that time. And
I see now there is a ECMAScript for XML extension, E4X, which might be
useful?

By using a standard format for the external code (particularly if
available support for that format is good), you could reasonably expect
multiple applications to support your model. Although, similarly, if the
support you describe is built into the CellML API (CCGS?) then you could
also expect multiple applications to support a given model with external
code.

Maybe some examples of where the use of external code is required would
be useful?
