Default Ponomariov and championship

It seems Ponomariov I still willing to puruant to the agreement that
he and FIDE had when he won the title. (and here I'm not talkign
abotu reunification because ultimately it appears the parites couldn't
agree on that. Kasparov appearantly wouldn't accept draw odds and the
time factor change) I wonder if FIDE will honor their original
agreement and let him defend the title.

Default Ponomariov and championship

Whatever "title" Ponomariov held ... well, what would it be? Some kind of
speedgame knockout tournament, where advances through the rounds could be
settled by blitz? Tournaments like that are held all the time, why is the
one Ponomariov won considered so special? Just another speedgame knockout
tournament, nothing more, nothing less.
