As much as i'm enjoying reading all this info, is it official that none of it will pass an MOT, so all rather irrelevant now?

If you try and put a bike with HID/LED fitted to standard reflectors then yes. Or as mentioned you could remove them at MOT, although you need to be aware you're taking a risk bit like a noisy end can. Or you fit projector lenses and you'll be fine just make sure they and the HID system or LEDs you fit are quality units. With recent improvements with LEDs bulbs, HIDs are obsolete in my opinion.
Any idea why they have suddenly been deemed as unfit to use?
I notice quite often when out on the bike how many vehicles have headlights that are obviously not aligned correctly. And they're normally the ones that have the brightest lights on them.I'm all for brighter lights, for seeing where you are going, but when they're misaligned they are a proper fecking nuisance.
