yes.

No. They (just) share the namespace, and there could be multiple
namespaces which one can share between tasks.

Elegant depends probably :) One way without much bells and whistles is
creating a dataspace in the config script and attaching it on each side:
 local ds = L4.Env.mem_alloc:create(L4.Proto.Dataspace, 4096);

 L4.default_loader:start({ caps = { shmds = ds:m("rw"); }}, "rom/one");
 L4.default_loader:start({ caps = { shmds = ds:m("rw"); }}, "rom/two");

Then attach it via L4Re::Rm::attach(). I guess you also want some kind
of notification. You could use standard IPC for that, or, better, use
Irqs, i.e. two, one for each side. libshmc wraps this, esp. settings
this up incl. the notification via Irqs.
