No major changes... it had been discussed on the forums that since there 
had been so many functional additions over the development cycle of this 
release, that we'd rename it to 5.0 to reflect the fact that it wasn't just 
a 'minor' release.

It's quote possible we will.  If a standard exists that doesn't hang itself 
in it's own complexity, we try to adopt it.  I'll probably need more time 
looking into it myself before I could better comment on it.  Thanks for the 
feedback on it.
