I'll answer 1 and 3:

1.  You can center a line of twelve colons like this:
[hds0]::::::::::::[hde][l
The 0 which I added to the start centering code prevents DBT from looking
ahead and making sure there is room for one more line below the centered
heading.  Thus, this centered line of colons can appear even at the last
line of a page.

3.  Roman numeral page numbering is set at the top of the document with
[pntr] and set to Arabic at the correct place with [pnta].  Typically you
would actually put [pg1] immediately after the [pnta] because you are
starting arabic braille page 1 at this point in the document.

Hope this helps.

Braille is the solution to the digital divide.
