Martin,
You forgot to mention the significantly improved OpenOffice.org import/export. This is becoming more and more of a selling point as OpenOffice.org increases in popularity among linux/Windows users.
(incidentally, for those who care, the ooo conference was great, I'm still in Europe, hacking on wordperfect a bit, but mostly just enjoying Southern France. I'll have more stories to share when I get back to North America).
Cheers,
William Lachance
