I happened to have been reading the book and thought about doing it as a blog (with van Helsing doing podcasts) not 2 weeks before someone went ahead and did it. Thus proving there are no original ideas anymore. Don't think they did the van Helsing podcast though. For those that only read things on the intraweb thingy nowadays, check out this:

For the most part the story is told through personal diary entries and newspaper articles. These people kept some detailed diaries. 8^) .

I think the old school is in refernce to his mode of dress. Newer vampires dress far more casually. And as many people have pointed out ... in the classic Dracula, vampires could indeed walk in daylight. Actually …. I think the old school is in refernce to his mode of dress.

It's been a while since I saw the film, but I think Bill's right, that vampires from that particular old school shouldn't be out in the daytime.

It's not fatal in legends (at least none that I know of) - many, though not all, legendary vampires go dormant during the day, but they're not killed by sunlight, they're just nocturnal creatures. It's not even an impediment for Varney, Ruthven, or Carmilla (the three most well known pre-Dracula fictional vampires) and Dracula only loses his supernatural powers. Even Nosferatu, some argue it wasn't so much the sunlight as Ellen's sacrifice that did it. Sunlight didn’t become fatal for vampires until 1922 with Nosferatu.
