Here is today's attempt to put it into practice. IIRC this was about 18-20 inches away from the "plane of focus" (sign) with about 3-4 degress of tilt. It also has a few millimeters of shift being used (darn, forgot my ladder). Even a step stool would have been nice, but the shift saved the day in that regard.
I bought the lens with sorta architecture in mind, sorta for landscape max DOF, sorta always wanted to learn tilt, sorta ... YIKES, it is an ultra-sharp WA lens with essentially no aberrations/distortion and very, very low vignetting.

What is going on with the strange magenta cast on the wall above the sign Kent?
Oh, that was probably my Kodak SLR/c applying its automated variable color correction compensation (green/magenta) that I forget the name for. It rears its head occasionally with UWA (and tilt/shift) and I missed it as this was only a "test shot" as I was learning to use tilt. No worries ... it was ALL camera, I get it with other UWA's against neutral areas @ the edges sometimes. It is very much a Kodak SLR/c thing and the OEM software has slider adjustments ... but I mostly process with PS these days, so I didn't put it through the Kodak's processing to offset what the camera applied.
Again ... this is a Kodak SLR/C thing only. The lens is incredibly well corrected.

Yes, to all of the above.
+1 on ultra sharp. I love both my TSE lenses.
I do have trouble focusing though when I have to use live view. It is sorta ok for near stuff but worthless for infinity on a 1DS-mk3 and my eyes. I am using the focus ring now for infinity and live view for tilt.
I have not used it much for side tilts as in this example. Very nice job here.
