But a weight-mapped figure that works natively in both DS and Poser?  Is that really possible?

I think that may mean there is a Poser version and a DS version ;). Not one version for both, since they're not really compatible formats :)

It is possible only in the broadest terms.  You can make a Poser version that "sort of" works in DAZ (since DS can technically read .cr2 figures) or you can make a DAZ version with DSON support files for Poser (and we all know DSON has some shortcomings).  Unless they did two native versions, one duf and one cr2, there can't be full cross-platform support.  And yes, that means clothing intercompatibility has similar issues.

Though if Poser users didn't choose to make GNDA and Tyler their main figures, I don't see much chance of this bagging that spot.  Isn't the refusal to switch away from V4M4 driven by 1. people not upgrading to weight-map compatible Poser versions and 2. people not wanting to abandon their large wardrobes for those figures?  This can't realistically address either of those unless it comes with a heckuva lot of cheap clothes out of the gate.

I'll be watching to see what happens. ;)
