As long as you have a 2005 distributor this is ok
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143241.aspx). Even new datatype
columns (eg varchar(max)) can be replicated and the mapping is automatic. To
set up, do it all from SSMS and have SQL 2000 subscriber registered there
also - it's much the same as setting up any other publication.

Definitely possible, I've got such as setup running here at work. It's easy
using SSMS to setup, or scripted.

It's also possible to have a SQL 2005 publisher and a SQL 7 subscriber, but
you can't use SSMS to do this as it can't connect to SQL 7. It was a new
experience for me not using a GUI to set this up, but I didn't have any
choice and it's been working fine :)
