I agree with your points, but it's rude to sneer.

Err, no. The things you mount in /etc/fstab are filesystems, not
partitions. A filesystem may not even lie in a partition or volume
(think about tmpfs, nfs...).

That's news to me.
I've mulit-booted openBSD, Fedora in a non-VM LVM, debian, SUSE, and a
previous version of the OSS fork of Solaris. Not all at once, but

XP -- that's dead now; lots of security issues that will never get fixed.
Do you really need Windows now? What is it that XP does for you that
you can't do with Windows
LVM should work the same way for both distros, but just in case, you might
want to do the initial setup in Squeeze. I don't know if anything has
changed in the LVM format in the past 20 years, but...

Not at all, no. LVM *as a concept* has been around for ages in a lot
of enterprise systems. The Linux implementation using device-mapper
works reasonably well and provides a lot of features that people use a
lot.

Which systems do you intend to dual boot? My understanding is that if
one of them is Windows, you're out of luck; but you can always run
Windows in a VM and let Linux manage the LVM file systems.
