I think he didn't mean to use the word "rewrite", i.e. replacing an existing implementation with a new one, I am quite certain he meant "from ground up", i.e. starting to implement a second stack starting at the wire level.

Again I think this is just unfortunate wording. In this context it more likely means "not linking against any GUI library", e.g. an implementation just linking with QtCore would also be "Desktop independent".

Yes, exactly. It's not possible use KIO and it's protocol handlers without installing and running some KDE specific stuff at the moment. Perhaps that's all more on the edges of KIO, but it makes it less attractive for using it cross desktop.
