I agree with all of this. They have a lot of fun with there grant money!

Yes, steam reforming has been used to reduce tar.

I recall charcoal was used also. If I recall correctly they (who ever)
used external heat for the charcoal so that the charcoal was not consumed.
Or something like that.

But it is still best to start by producing less tar.

On the other hand an updraft has advantages, also.

Now if one had a use for the tar it would be a matter of just (easyer said
than done) removing the tar.
