I have similar needs than you. (I didn't install biblatex 0.8e) You're true, 
there's no dedicated discussion on Biblatex but when I asked randomly in this ml 
for some little hacks, I always had some positive reply and almost everything 
worked. For fine tuning, it wuold be a bit harder but it seems that if there are 
more people like you and me, we can join forces and exchange tricks. For 
instance, I also need to hack that unnecessary "in" (I use verbose-trad2 style)
I think that Philip, the main developer, is focusing in creating a final stable 
release rather than giving little help to people for hackings that may be 
unnecessary or even not-working in next releases...
But you're true, I would love to know how to create a style of mine with less 
effort and low programming skills.
Regards!
H.
