On the chalk on non-overhanging ground issue, I would think that any discouloration of the rock due to lichen loss is so minimal (when compared to the obvious unsightliness of chalked buckets on overhanging rock) as to be reletively insignificant. I doubt any non-climber walking under a cliff (or even the majority of climbers) would see the clean lichen free streaks as shown in the photos as anything other than a natural phenomenon. Still its a good point, and one I hadnt thought of. Everything we do as climbers seems to do something to stuff up our environment. Maybe I'll take up lawn bowls. Although I am worried about the use of Henselitte polish on the bowls ;-)
