Evenif that's true, Olympus could salvage the OM system by producing
a digital body accepting Zuiko glass.

Absolutely.  but will they? 

You can already buy a digital camera with Nikon mount.  but I tend to
think the Olympus keeps the Om system around waiting to see the future
of digital rather than for prestige in the P&S lineup.

incidetally, the density of CCDs is so high that lenses that cover 35mm
format would be medium format for digital photography, assuming the
photo industry chooses to make CCDs that large.  today's Nikon/kodak digital
camera has a smalle enough CCD that the coverage of 35mm optics is
overkill.
