Hi Nathan,

2. A property in the List View that allows you to turn numbering on and off or align the numbers vertically at either the top or the bottom of a list row. (Ideally it would be nice to be able to style your own numbers in the Lens).

You can play around with this sort of thing in the CSS. By poking at your exhibits with the wonderful Firefox tool Firebug (you can "inspect" elements), you can find out the class names of the different parts of the exhibit and play around with that.

Turning off the numbers is something easy like:

ol.exhibit-tileView-body {
    list-style-type: none;
}

I remember playing around with one of my exhibits once trying to change where the number displayed, but didn't have much luck. This seems to be a shortcoming in the Ordered List and CSS specs, as opposed to exhibit. I was able to force the number to appear somewhere else, but it wasn't very cross-browser friendly. In the end I decided there was no semantic value to the numbers being there and just got rid of 'em.

3. The ability to tie a Lens to a particular View, so that one may style different Lenses for the same object types, depending on View.

I think this is possible already. At least, this is how it used to work, and I don't think it changed for v. 2.0. My understanding is that if you nest a lens within a view div, then that lens will only apply to that div, and override any other specified lens.
4. Implement paging in the list view instead of just "show all" vs "show first N items".

Yeah, absolutely I agree here.
