Okay, don't flame me for this and yes, I do have better things to be doing, however...
The desktop image in the invitation only takes on that particular appearance when the screen is in portrait mode. Therefore, with that spacing, the button should be right below the Maps icon and quite visible. Still, I'd say that the image has just been manipulated to remove distraction. (Either that or the button is gone )

The problem with live streams is that journalists and other kind of invitees don't go to the events, and Apple, as any other company, wants to see their room full after all the effort of creating such an event like this. So, sorry, I would like to see a live streaming too, but knowing the pain it is make this kind of shows I understand them.
You honestly think there's any chance the room WON'T be full to capacity? This is an Apple keynote we're talking about. Live-streaming will not change that. Every invited journalist will go.
Parental controls are built right in for those reasons.
I'm guessing by the way you asked this question however, that you are some kind of extreme wacko that wants to do something that no one in the world besides yourself ever thought of or wanted to do before and that therefore this answer probably won't satisfy you.
looking for something beyond parental controls. are there any?
Would this be the first time they've ever shown the product in the teaser invite before the unveiling?
Could be. Thee was much talk when they actually showed a little bit of a lion behind the writing on the card for the lion revelation. I guess that doesn't really count. Perhaps this is an acknowledgement of sorts, that it is what we all have known it is for ages now.

Except that attendees get hands-on time with the devices after the presentation, which those who choose to cover the event from a live stream clearly would not.

Of course they'll go now, but, if Apple makes always live streaming of their events, you can be sure the attendance will be cut in half.
I don't think you should read too much into the clarity of the photo. There is too much blur from the Calendar icon to the Maps icon. There isn't similar blur on the hand at equal or greater distance.
On the other hand... Maps icon maybe foreshadows the dumping of Google and introducing Apple's in-house mapping software? Keynote foreshadows new iWorks release?
I think it's pretty obvious that the iPad in the picture is turned on it's side so you can't see the picture and they either edited out the other apps or they simply went to a screen with no apps on the bottom so you'll focus on the 7. That's the point anyway, to say March 7th. This picture could easily be enhanced also. The retina display is not a certainty until Apple says it is in their presentation.

Also, iPad2 event was live streamed.
That's a big plus, but I'm pretty sure it must be something with making people go to the event.

The iPad isn't on its side but might be upside down.
Apple invitations are truly art. Remember in that event they released the smart cover, and that invitation resembles that behavior when you uncover the iPad. They're genius :P

I'm betting on a 1080p AppleTV and 1080p iTS content also being announced. Seems ideal for all three this time.
You'll definitely go blind that way.

I hear that Safari is snappier on the new model.

Yes - of course, the screen could have been upside down!

Still exciting!

Now where did I leave those Photoshop files?

No. See: Last time.
