Sure. I think the exceptions are limited to:
- line-spacing="0" is no longer allowed
- 1.0.1 CSL processors will have to support both the old and the new scheme
for ordinal terms, unless it is certain that the CSL processor will never
encounter CSL 1.0 locale files
- the "page-range-delimiter" term should have a default value of an
en-dash, unless it is certain that the CSL processor will never encounter
CSL 1.0 locale files
- "verb" and "verb-short" are no longer allowed as values on the "form"
attribute on standalone cs:label elements (which doesn't really make sense)
- cs:if and cs:else-if elements now require at least one condition
I have mostly been using the "master" branch for validating the styles in
the "styles" repository, so all CSL 1.0 styles in there already validate
against the 1.0.1 schema. But users might have old or custom versions
installed that will validate against 1.0 but fail against 1.0.1. That
should only affect a small fraction of users, though.
At the risk of bikeshedding, and please forgive me if this has already

The rationale is explained here:

There are also a couple of xbiblio forum threads about it. Calling this
release 1.1 would be inconvenient because we want to keep the value on the
"version" attribute on the cs:style and cs:locale root elements as "1.0".
