Here are a few more. Have we got them all? Anything missing?

-Extensiblity of  registrty protocol where new types of requests and 
responses may
be defined easily.

-Human friendly URNs as the id of a content or meta data item

-A new standard meta data type Person has been added to represent persons.

-The XML Filter Query syntax has been greatly simplified to make
the query more expressive while requiring less verbiage.
