hmm... I see it as a micro-USB with a distinct power symbol next to it. Unless, micro-HDMI now delivers power too? Have you yourself had one of these devices and used the HDMI slot and can therefore say for 100% certainty?
I would have though SE would have mentioned it in their press release and it would have more exposure in the products blog and various demoes to bloggers on youtube.

Does anyone know if and where you can get the front housing/casing for the Arc at all?

3- connect some other accessories to the phone like USB keyboard for better browsing on TV experience, or a PS3 controller for much better gaming experience ( specially when you connect the dock to a TV also )..
Any firm source for this one ?
P.S: I found SE's site write about that!

This is what I'm thinking about...
The fact that the dock connect to the phone only using USB, but still provide HDMI output then I'm assuming that the phones actually have MHL support of some sort.. if yes then all mysteries is solved...
MHL can use either microUSB or miniHDMI ( actually any port, but currently these only ) and provide power and FullHD signaling using only one cable, being an microUSB or miniHDMI...
something like Samsung GS2 which only have microUSB port that support MHL.. using a MHL cable you will be able to connect that microUSB to a HDMI TV.. and if the TV support MHL also, it will charge the phone also !!
so if Xperia line actually support MHL all mysteries will be solved...
1- The dock only connect to the phone using USB but still provide HDMI output...
2- The dock can charge the phone while there's no charger or power input in the dock...
3- And one of the pics we saw earlier that shows Xperia Play connected to a TV when we know that Play does not support TV output !!
4- Only Arc, Neo & Pro actually have HDMI output but LiveDock supports all Xperia line including Play, Mini, Mini Pro but does not state that HDMI/TV output is not available when using the Dock with these phones...
These mysteries will be really solved except one... why
did not advertise the feature ?
maybe for the same reason they did not advert the USB OTG feature !!

UNFORTUNATELY I confirm Arc has one fckn bug, I don't know what causes that.
It RESETS it's date (always to 26th June) and time. Randomly, every week or so. What a cr..p.

To me, it looks like a charger port (shown by the flash symbol) and a full USB port for USB OTG.

Try changing in date&time automatic (network provided) setting on or off.
I haven't experienced this bug yet (hoping that I don't). But I had a problem once when alarm went off, I pressed snooze and after that the clock was stuck at 6:30 and the date was wrong. However, reset fixed it.

I had a similar problem, it would reset the date back a day or two and also give me random time.
This happened to me even after the update and I could swear only happened sometimes after turning off flight mode but I'm not 100% sure.
I made 2 main changes from the setup I had when the problem was active, stop using and old version of beautiful widgets and also stop using the Nexus S live wallpaper.
In your case it may be something else though but I think something that manipulates time and or is always active has lost its marbles.
Good luck.

You are probably right. But my time auto setup is OFF and I don't use those things you mentioned.
