I think that your question can probably be answered by checking out the 
list of preliminary enhancements on CSDirect.  (And unless you plan on 
purchasing the Feed Builder product, IMO you are not wasting your time on 
anything you're doing with feeds or new book lists.)

And since requests for info about R2006 seem to be coming up a lot 
lately...beta test sites have to agree to keep things 
confidential.  Insight and/or tales of personal experience with WebPAC Pro 
or any other R2006 functionality *should be* hard to come by until R2006 is 
in general release.
