Yes, I thought that, but then the LCD panel could be a problem, because the
wheel icons (located toward the 2 wheels) also read Av/Tv.
A matrix LCD is probably necessary to change that...
Once again, for solving a problem which has no reason to exist, simply
caused by a wrong decision (IMHO).

It's just neccessary. Some people thought that it could be because they
wanted to introduce some USM/IS lenses which was of course not true.
Aperture simulator was very important selling point for mid and top range
Pentax cameras.
3) I'd standardize the two aperture/shutter speed wheels in any mid- to
top-range camera. And , please, please, the aperture wheel must be on the
front (diaphragm side) and the shutter speed wheel must be on the back
(shutter side). Being the other way round (wrong) as they are on the
*istD, I still have to think which wheel to operate all the time.
The best would be if they would allow user to change operation of these
wheels according to one's needs. So you could exchange functionality of
two wheels or change purpose of one in Av or Tv mode (for example to set
exposure compensation). 1-2 PFs for that would be enough :-)
