Hopefully the bezel will be not as insanely fat as in the current one. And the screen higher resolution. Here's hoping for a 14 inch 1440x900 display, with similar footprint as the current Air.
Got a tip for us?

USB 3.0 gives you some pretty good performance increases. There's even a mode that manages a private Wi-Fi connection between devices to make things even faster.
I'm pretty sure Firewire is dead at this point.

Quoted again as this is the dream that will sadly never come true.
And swappable battery for those of us who live in countries where it's faux pas to just plug in wherever you feel like it.
Unfortunately, Apple feels that it's fine to slack on both these areas.

Hmm... I think that a 12.1" widescreen MacBook Air with 1280x800 would be the sweet spot. Smaller footprint and very thin.
Why not just kill the bezel? I'll be apple could use the same LCDs(I dearly hope not, more line issues would be pretty bad) while shaving off the side bezel and around the keyboard. Then you have the same 13.3" screen, but youve got it in a 12" screen package

Because Apple has chosen not to be competitive in this area. The last Apple notebook with attention paid to compactness and maximum display area was the Titanium G4. The bezel has been getting thicker and thicker ever since. Pixel densities, too, have remained stagnant on the smaller laptops (where it is most needed) since a long time ago.
Here's where the trend is heading:
