The picture painted by this -- sending to a factory and getting out a tumbling weed -- is certainly enjoyable :)
2. What does this mean for existing Factory users? A. it is our intention to 'alias' the current Factory repositories to the 'new' Tumbleweed repositories. So existing Factory [users] [...] will be recommended [to] change their repositories

Just say what really will happen. Something like: the new tumbleweed hierarchy will be anchored at d.o.o/tumbleweed/, that's why both parties eventually have to change their URLs.
5. What about OBS Projects that build against openSUSE_Tumbleweed and/or openSUSE_Factory?
Projects building openSUSE_Factory/standard will continue to build against the 'unpublished' 'work in progress' Factory project, which can still be a valid use case, so nothing will change there.
Despite valid use case, it will be a 1% use case.
Projects building against openSUSE_Factory/snapshot will effectively be building against the same as openSUSE_Tumbleweed, so it would be advisable to not build against both, but we wont be automatically changing anything in OBS.
I don't think there should be a problem if you change the <path> object from openSUSE_Factory/snapshot to New_Tumbleweed/standard.
