We know Fr. Daniil was murdered for the faith and by definition this makes him a martyr. Does his local veneration begin immediately and if there is to be universal veneration for him does this take a generation or more to come about? If by definition he is a martyr, why the delay?

I'm not sure all the facts are yet known, and besides, remember who you are working with here, we're Orthodox! It is not a "delay", things just happen slowly. A generation is really a short period when you measure time in millennia.
