The biggest thing I took out of that was:
"The darkened colour created in the process is not durable in UV-light, unless the surface is
treated with UV-resistant coating. Normal painting processes present no problems, but when
electrostatic painting is used, heat-treated wood requires extra moisturising. "
I'm reading that as the darker colour will fade in time unless you put a uv resistant clear coat on it?

Yes, I believe so.
I will get a definitive answer today.

Just got definitive word from Mr. Warmoth: Roasted Maple will NOT require a finish for a valid warranty.
