Agreed - What happens in the next few days will tell a lot about the position the UK really has in this matter.

The optimist in me is hopeful the UK is helping him to get the Interpol heat off of him and set him free on bail.

After all, Assange might help the UK in anticipating future Wikileaks releases. There's plenty of potential for deals.

How is this relevant to whether or not he committed a sexual assault?

If there's a weight of evidence showing he's guilty then he should be extradited and tried.

Agreed. The corollary of that is that if there isn't he should be set free.
