That's OK. It means that any information that could have been found from an NPC's divination can still be got that way, and the GM can still give as much or as little information to PC's trying it as he feels won't destroy the plot....

That seems like the sensible place for it, based on the advertised split of material

Daimones, surely ;) - It does seem to make a difference in that all the Daimones we have encountered so far are "living" creatures rather than disembodied spirits (so for instance, a Humakti could have a Daimon Raven Ally, but not a Daimon Ally in his sword)

I suspect you are right (Actually I may go even further, although not necessarily supported by the rules. If I'm a theist then the hill "over there" probably has a Daimon or minor god in it, regardless of the origin. - It's when I try to deal with it as such I may hit the "Missaplied worship" type penalties)

Yes, Thanks Jeff. If nothing else you've confirmed I'm not going off completely at a tangent...
