Here is my list. I will try not to repeat other suggestions: 
- Better tools for resolving unresolved cross-references. 
- Warning whenever a text deletion involves markers of any type. This could reduce unresolved cross-references and shrinking indexes. 
- Fit to anchored frame option for imported graphics. 
- Make alternative bullets easier to get. My students want to kill me whenever I show them how. 
- Allow master pages in different page sizes within same fm file. This would help foldouts within a chapter 
- Prompt when referenced graphics have been updated similar to InDesign so that you can choose whether to update the graphic that appears in the frame doc. 
- Continue to find ways to make FrameMaker integrate better with other Adobe products and interface. I am always amazed at how easy it was to learn InDesign and how similar it was and easily it integrates with other Adobe products. I know that Adobe has probably worked pretty hard at this already, but keep up the great work. 
- Offer Frame as part of a suite like Adobe's Web, Design and Publishing Collections. This may get Frame into the hands of more small businesses. 
- I agree with other posts, need to be able to lock down certain template features without resorting to structured Frame. 
- Easy way to find and remove format over rides. 
- Allow frame borders to look more like the ones in InDesign, ie. change the colour to something else like light blue (this is a would be nice request) 
- Make developing structured applications easier in Structured Frame. With the now unified product and roundtrip XML capability, a lot of businesses would like to go in this direction but lack the time and expertise to undertake this. 

Otherwise, it's a great product that does what's promised.
