I have a silly and a not-so-silly question, both assume LVP is disabled.

First, the silly question:

When using ICSP to reflash the PIC, all of the timing diagrams show PGC 
and PGD being low *before* ~MCLR being brought to VPP. Would you expect 
any sort of badness if that weren't the case?

And the not-so-silly question:

 When debugging, how does the debugger interrupt the program's execution 
in order to read variables, step through the program, etc? Is that done 
by throwing ~MCLR to VPP, or through a manipulation of the PGC and PGD 
lines?
