IS IT TRUE? it's the silliest thing I ever knew

hmmm.... my guess is that the AF point selected can be displayed on Live View.
I think too that AF selection is displayed on the INFO screen.
As for WR, Pentax just does two body lines now:
- small, light-weight, penta-mirror, non-WR (K-m/x)
- small, magnesium alloy, penta-prism, dampened shutter, WR (K-7)
Into it, they can put varying electronics/sensor technology. But it may be too expensive to develop a mechanically different third line (but of course, the K200D body would already be available -- I guess it just didn't sell well against K-m and K20D).
I am not sure if the AF indicator overlay board would fit the K-m/x prism housing. Pentax has listened to some K-m user requests, like putting the orientation sensor back and allowing AF point selection. So, there must have been a reason why not to bring back AF point indication as well.
