Battery bias directly to grid

I've posted a circuit for discussion at:

http://members.lycos.co.uk/fiultra/Discussion%20Circuits.htm

What are the implications of this circuit?

What, theoretically, makes it better than the standard battery bias
application in the cathode circuit?

Will the batteries charge as efficiently in this position as in the
cathode circuit; what are the effects of the resistors topping and
tailing the battery set?

What are this circuit's dangers?

Are there alternatives that work better or are safer?
