Getting started with Nexus S NFC/RFID. Can anyone provide any guidance?

I'm interested in creating some home brew demos using the nexus s NFC/RFID hardware. I think I need to find the appropriate tags and how to encode urls into tags that the nexus s can read by it's tags app. Not sure about iso 14443 tags or mifare etc

Does nexus s support all of libnfc?

If I root the device can I get access to write functionality?

Thanks

The Nexus S will read Mifare tags. I have replayed YouTube videos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu7fQsPjDls) from a smartcard using the Nexus S. The URL was written with another device (Nokia 6212).
