On the first one, yeah, TI's got chips (so do a few other vendors), but I'm not competent at designing (or building) ethernet circuits, so I need someone else to put a 10Base-T1L PHY back to back with a 10Base-T PHY, and do those other things.
Pace1KL looks interesting, but the price (seems to be $129 each) is too high for me, especially since I'd need to supply PoE on both sides. In an ideal world, I'd get one unit which was powered and was a PSE (power sourcing equipment), and the other unit was a PD (powered device), so I didn't need to find a safe place to tap power where my line ends. Of course, in an even more ideal world, I'd have two pairs so I could run standard ethernet :)
Single-pair wire can deliver power in addition to 10Mbps:

Not sure what kind of distance-dropoff trade-off there is:
> For example, at 55V and 1000m, 7.7W can be delivered to the endpoint. At shorter distances, 55V and 150m, 52W can be delivered to the endpoint.

All of this is meant for bulk purchases in the industrial/embedded/automation/SCADA space, so small-batch hobbyist purchases may be expensive.
