Re sunroof: probably because of complaints from people who accidentally leave it in tilted position when they meant to close it, and then it rains...

Re highbeams: makes sense since the LCI uses the new rings as DRL's already. However, I wonder how fast the xenons can flash on since they can take a few secs to be fully on. Plus, what would happen if you flash it a few times rapidly... that may be bad for the ballast for power to surge repeatedly thru it like that.
The high beams turn on instantly. There is no lag whatsoever. I was actually quite impressed with it.
