Wow, I only read the Apostille white paper yesterday - this is awesome! I am NEM's newest fan

I would like to implement a solution on NEM/Apostille for notarizing (that the correct word?) academic degrees and certificates. I think there might be a market for such a solution at the institutions in my city.
Based on this idea of mine, I have a few questions, which I hope the community can assist me with:
1. Would one be able to notarize a BATCH of academic degrees/certificates? Either via some BASH scripting or API calls? Notarizing hundreds of degrees/certificates manually will be murder

2. Can documents be stored on the NEM blockchain? I am thinking that institutions actually already generate PDF files. Will they continue to store these on their own storage, or will it be possible for files to be stored on the NEM chain?
3. What is the cost (in XEM, I guess) per notarization? Would it be cheaper if one create one's own coin/mosaic for this maybe?
4. Are there some API tutorials for Apostille notarization actions? I guess python might be the easiest for me.
5. Would it be possible to integrate open Badges spec?
