Questions and clarifications about post-DLC gear

Thanks in advance to DeeJ or any other Bungie folks that can provide concrete answers! (1) It seems as if there will be three tiers of post-20 armor: * Old legendary armor with 27 Light * Old exotic/Vault of Glass/Iron Banner armor, plus new legendary armor, with 30 Light * New exotic/Crota's End armor with 36(?) Light. Is that correct? (2) It seems as if there will be two tiers of post-20 weapons: * Pre- [i]and[/i] post-DLC legendary weapons, plus un-upgraded pre-DLC exotics, with 300 Attack * Post-DLC or upgraded exotics, Vex Mythoclast, and Crota's End legendaries with 323(?) Attack. Is that correct? (3) What Attack and Light values will new legendary gear sold by faction vendors have? (4) What Attack and Light values will new legendary drops have? What about engrams decoded by the Cryptarch? (5) Are Vanguard and Crucible Commendations random rewards when you level up your Vanguard or Crucible reputation, or are they guaranteed? If they're guaranteed, how many do you receive at each rank? (6) Are there any other ways to get Commendations, like as random drops at the end of a Crucible match or Vanguard strike? (7) Will the Future War Cult, Dead Orbit, and New Monarchy require Crucible Commendations to purchase gear? Will you gain Commendations for ranking up with those factions, just as with Lord Shaxx? (8) In the future, are limited-time events like Iron Banner likely to award gear equivalent to post-DLC legendary items, or to post-DLC raid-quality items? (9) Currently, the only way to reach 30 is to equip an exotic helm or the class helm that drops from Atheon at the end of the hard raid. Will that be true for level 32--that is, will you need an upgraded exotic helm or the class helm that drops from the Hard version of Crota's End? [b]EDIT: [/b]One more makes (10): Will Xur offer upgrades for all exotic weapons, or only those already at max level? And what will be the Attack of a newly-upgraded (i.e., 0 xp) exotic weapon? [b]EDIT 2:[/b] As added by user TaterSalad, (11): Will commendations be character-specific, the way marks are currently handled, or can they be transferred to other characters via the vault?
