They can, eventually, finish book-keeping, though even for a speed:1 dwarf, it takes quite a while... and that's with a mere six dwarves.  As mentioned, though, the keeper does have to go back to it, from time to time.

Cave-iiiinnsss... I'm in the process of collapsing the human town above my fortress, teehee.  I've got one of their buildings (an inn, I think) so far, with more to come fairly soon.

I haven't really figured out how to collapse a room from below (I have, for example, completely hollowed out a level a fair bit below the surface, for stone and such, with nary a cave-in in sight.), but I have managed to drop stuff by digging a channel around whatever it is I want to fall down -- after hollowing out an appropriate sized room below the target, of course.

It was beautiful when the building finally came tumbling down, though, and when the dust cleared I got a nice chuckle out of the human-corpses.  That, and the fact that I was still welcome aboveground (Not that it would have made a difference, as I'm playing with horribly suped up "Uberdwarvches," (sand-box mode for the win!) and any one of my minions could slaughter the whole town...).

Once the town's buried?  Well, I'll play around a little more, then set my sights higher -- I'd already collapsed a fair bit of coastline in a previous fortress, but there's precious little support (it evidently screws pathfinding over... and those "damp stone" warnings are really annoying for aquatic critters.) for doing under-water work (I wanna' build Atlantis! Also -- coral.  Lots of coral.), and flooding eventually stopped me.  I really want to drop an entire human fortress in one go, so that's probably what I'll do... after trying to undermine me a mountain (or maybe a volcano... hmm...) next.

More or less the same as before, though there is, I believe, more things that can produce webs (Some more dangerous than others, heh...) than there was in previous versions.  Of course, there's probably a chance that the area you're in won't have any web-producers, so no silk for you, in that case.

You can always edit the raws to have your dwarves spit webs at things, if you really want silk goods...
