1. The ability, through Office update, to download and display a list of
holidays to display on the calendar.  Select holidays or holiday groups to
filter out.

2. For example, if I'm Jewish or Buddhist, I might not care to see
Christmas, Easter, etc.  Or vice versa.

3. This might open up a cool opportunity to create holiday-ish icons on
calendar days, which could optionally be links to holiday websites, or just
tooltip-like pop-up windows describing what the holiday is about, a short
history and description, etc.

4. Set up reminders on certain holidays.

1.  Already exists.

2. You can already select what holidays to display from the Holidays option.

3. a. Icons are not supported in Outlook Calendar - not sure why but I seem
to recall the formatting was a problem.

3. b. http://www.calendar-updates.com does a great job already... why
reinvent the wheel?

4.  Do it manually or for the entire category of holidays.
