Patrick Murris has some tidbits up about some upcoming features to WWJava 0.3.x releases.  The flat earth will allow WorldWind to have both a 'cartographic' flat global view of the globe and 3D terrain.

This may also allow for more projections to be supported.

Also coming up in a better way to view text on the globe, and something that has been requested for a very long time (I am still waiting for HTML Bubble support to be added.. been wanting that long before Google Earth came out).
