Looks OK to me. I'll tweak the exampless.

If we define sense 3 as only used "when 
handing over something" though, it kind of 
ends up just being an int and never an adv, 
no? お茶をどうぞ (verb implied) is sense 2 "help 
yourself to some tea" rather than "here you 
are; tea."

I think it's fine to lead with sense 1 given how common it is in written/formal Japanese. (Have a look at the top 100 どうぞ〜 terms in the ngrams). I'm not totally opposed to the 2→3→1 order, though.
I think adv is correct for those senses. It's very much like "certainly" in English.

Should sense 3 (and also 2?) maybe be int

Hi Jim, here's a quick justification for the edit on this entry and the other entry for "potentiometer" that WWWJEDIC has (this is directly in one of my fields of expertise, but even Wikipedia will tell you the story in detail): there are two completely different electric/electronic devices called "potentiometer", whereby among practitioners the more widely understood (default) meaning of "potentiometer" is "variable resistor" or "adjustable resistor", i.e., the same meaning as the (nowadays) relatively rarely used term "rheostat". The other "potentiometer" is a measuring device - "meter" as in thermometer, etc. - for electric potential (voltage) (See my related mod entry.)

I'm just trying to make sense 2 coherent
In my understanding, there are always three people involved: A, B, and C
A is trying to contact (or visit) C through whatever means, but instead only gets hold of B. It falls on B to convey this information to C. Therefore, B acts as an intermediary between A and C.

With this set of glosses, there should be a clear link between senses 1 & 2, where previously there was none that I could see.

It gets 664 Google hits, and after you subtract the pages of kanji lists and the pages derived from Jmdict there are only a few real ones; mostly referring to old texts. I saw "圕研究" a couple of times. I guess an "also written" will do.

Confirms the meaning, and to some extent the reading.  Perhaps it should be an "also written as".

You wouldn't find 圕 in those references because their online editions have restricted kanji sets.
The Japanese Wikipedia entry for 図書館 used to begin: "図書館（としょかん、古くに圕とも）とは、...". at some stage the "古くに圕とも" was deleted (I haven't hunted through the edits to find out when or why).
圕 is a JIS212 kanji that was kept on in JIS213. In the JIS dictionary, there is the comment "圕は図書館の合字". We have plenty of entries with odd and obscure kanji included, appropriately flagged, and I think having 圕 as an "oK" was really quite appropriate. It should be in the entry somewhere.

Displaying both is not really an option - it would be a major change as it's geared now to display just the first choice according to various criteria.
For  締め切/etc. I'd prefer to have the regular entry picked instead of the masu-stem, but the code sequencing does the verb-detections before the regular entries, and it would be a super pain to change it.
If I ever get to rewrite that module, I'll try and handle this better.

The fact that 獲る is often read "とる" does not mean it is a recognized 訓読み for that kanji, as evidenced by it not being in any 漢和 that I can see. Only GG5 has 獲る/とる, although the WWW evidence is that it is being used. Put it down to the flexibility (some call it chaotic mess) which is Japanese orthography.

See below.

With "獲る" bearing the reading of both "とる and える",　is it possible for both readings to be included in the following reference in order to make that clear?

獲 [JIS] 334D [Uni] 7372 [部首] 94 [教育] 8 [画数] 16  [音] カク  [訓] え.る  [英]  seize; get; find; earn; acquire; can; may; able to 

I originally thought that "獲る" was "える" and "穫る" was "とる". Thanks for that clarification.

It is both
http://dic.search.yahoo.co.jp/search?ei=UTF-8&p=獲る&fr=dic&stype=exact

See below.

I thought that "獲る" was "える". See below which is supported by Kenkyusha and Nelson:-

 得る(P); 獲る 【える】 (v1,vt) (1) (獲る esp. refers to catching wild game, etc.) to get; to acquire; to obtain; to procure; to earn; to win; to gain; to secure; to attain; (suf,v1,vt) (2) (得る only) (See 得ない, 得る .うる) (after the -masu stem of a verb) to be able to ..., can ...; (P)
