Re: Constraints on spatial flatness.

There's a new book by Weinberg, "Cosmology", Oxford University Press,
2008, which discusses many of the points that you raise. There are
four sections to the book: (1) The Expansion of the Universe; (2) The
Cosmic Microwave Radiation Background; (3) The Early Universe, and;
(4) Inflation. In my non-expert opinion, it is up to the usual
Weinberg standard of excellence.
