Default LSA instructor?

I'm just back from OSH late last night as well. Had a good time, got
totally sunburned and enjoyed the show. A couple of questions came up,
and everyone I asked seemed to have a different opinion (which happens
when you don't have the FAR/AIM books at hand out on the Flight
line)....
1. I thought the LSA "mall" was a great idea at show center. My first
plane was an Ercoupe, and even thought I've moved "up" to a 172, the
LSA type airplanes are really pretty cool. What I've been trying to
figure out is this new LSA instructor thing. Can one really just take
the "fundamentals of instruction" (FOI) test and then the written for
the LSA instructor (and then the practical)? Without getting a
commercial and then insturment, like a traditional CFI?
2. I was oogling the new Czech "Mermaid" amphibian as well. My wife was
keen on that idea. Now with this, is there going to be a seperate
LSA-single engine seaplane rating (LSA-seaplane???)? If one already has
PP-SEL, does one just add SES on to it and then be qualified to fly the
thing?

I'm already a relatively active pilot, but I truly hope this LSA thing
really takes off and we start seeing these planes out at the FBO's!
