Yes, that applies for items which you can wear/wield/ready.  But you can still
read scrolls or drink potions directly from bags.

Maybe, but bulkyness isn't implemented yet.  Personally I believe you should
loose speed if you carry 1000 scrolls/gems in your hands instead of using
a bag (anyone want to draw different kinds of containers?  Scrollcases,
quivers, gem-pouches, backpacks, etc...)
Maybe this can be achieved somehow by using a general size-variable on
all items, and a containment-limit on all kinds of sacks, as well as the
inventory.
