As far as I am aware, mirrors are not a legal requirment.

But if you do have them, if the mirror is cracked or misted, it can be an MOT fail. Having ridden mine without any mirrors, I didn't really notice a massive difference, but found myself rear-observing more often and giving bigger/longer over shoulder looks than usual (because I was looking behind, as well as the normal "blindspot" area)

I'm wondering what the positioning of bar ends would be like on clip ons, rather than flat bars.

I remember reading about the Reevu helmet (integrated rear view mirror) a while ago. Anyone used one yet? Could always try http://www.bugeyes.com/
