Rick,
I would think an RS-232 interface OR a four pin header compatible with the
acroname brainstem (a $11 mini board with 232 level translator and .100 4 pin
connector on one end and DB-9 on other) would be nice.

I have built several of Dale's AT Mega boards (now out of production) and on
almost every one I have wired a 4 pin header for the acroname brain stem
gizmo.
Now, I don't know how well that would fit into your design.
if you do install a level translator and DB-9, then maybe still a header
with RX,TX,GND and +5 to feed an external TTL gizmo such as LCD panel or simple
Terminal -- LCD with some buttons ....
Also, I would vote for some LEDs on some of the pins -- at least as an
option, e.g. you solder in the LEDs and resistors .. if you want them -- without
using the proto area..
Maybe some buttons...
OR button LED combos sharing I/O pin....
Just my two cents.
I will stay out of your design.
I hope none of this was in your list! Too lazy to go back and check.
