Thanks, Richard.
Could you expand on the issue of non-standard GUI elements?... perhaps
some examples of what is not acceptable?
If self-updating is not allowed, what is the easiest alternative? Or is
this app store going to operate like the iPad store, where the OS always
informs the user when an update is available?

Prohibited items include self-updating (even though iTunes itself does
that), and non-standard GUI elements (even though iTunes itself does
that too). You're also not allowed to let the user try your product
before purchasing, but that's not something LC can address.
One user in the LC forums has noted that his app was rejected because
his document windows don't darken the close dot to indicate unsaved
changes. This has been noted in the RQCC, but I've not heard from
RR as to when this will be addressed.
Elsewhere Jan Schenkel has noted that toolbars such as the attractive
implementation in Trevor's ScreenSteps can't currently be implemented
in a truly HIG-savvy fashion, and that's been flagged as an
enhancement request in the RQCC as well.
A good toolbar implementation also requires other related details,
such as sheet positioning and adding a standard Toolbar button.
We'll also need some means of integrating with Apple's reg system,
since you're not allowed to manage that yourself. It would be helpful
if others here who've dealt with it can tell us what's needed to
support that.
