> What would this dynamic linking have for debugging the loaded code?

Symbols would not be available, as is today.  Primary change is to 
remove restriction on single export and no imports.  Don't build it 
into a DXE until you've debugged it?  

The only potentially debuggable alternative I saw was to build on the 
XCOFF support for windows PE type DLLs - but this looked like a 
compatibility rats nest, and a big footprint.
