No.
I think that we shouldn't say too much in the guidelines, but maybe this should be said, since currently there is a package that does that. (I have filed the bug Bug 443649, package is uudeview).
- Is it permitted to have the headers in
devel and the static library in -static and have mylib-devel Requires: mylib-static = %{version}-%{release}
Yes. But you'd still need to have any packages which link against the static libraries BuildRequire: mylib-static.
Indeed.
As a side note, I would have said the same (No for 1., Yes for 2.).
