The resignation, dated July 25 (curiously) would seem to be the basis for actually replacing him as president, rather that being appointed as acting president. Many questions that still need answers.

The key thing I took away from what I read is that corruption in Honduras is not limited to the executive branch of government, and that the actions there were at least partially politically motivated. Hopefully, if a mediated solution to this mess is arrived at, the actions of all parties will be investigated. http://hondurascoup2009.blogspot.com/ I became aware (posted a link on La Gringa’s site as well) today of a blog that does a very good job of providing arguments against the actions taken against Zelaya, as well as the motivations for doing so.
