A Couple Of Campy Questions...

I'm shopping for a Campy RD, and I found a very nice Veloce model. The seller say's that it is good for a 8/9/10 speed set-up. Is that possible? I thought that a RD was made for just one set-up, either an 8 speed, a 9 speed, or 10 speed specifically.

On cranks, when a crankset is advertised as a 10 speed what exactly does that mean? I thought a crank didn't care how many gears were in the back? So my question here is, can a crankset advertised as a 10 speed crank, also be used on a 8 or 9 speed set-up?

Thanks for the help guys!
