boingboing scuttlebutt is that "the really cool part, which you really should tell Mark, is that these tiny people were recent enough that they likely coexisted with humans who could tell stories; there are, to this day, myths among people in that part of Indonesia of distant human ancestors who had tiny, somewhat stupid tiny friends who lived in caves." Also speculation that "The Orang Pendek may be a living fossil - the same species as Homo Floresiensis, but be very much alive."
