My guesses, having followed Nostalrius and Elysium as a brief participant and onlooker:
1) they'll use classic models. WOD models would clash with vanilla art and they are too good at art for that
2) no heirlooms, for obvious reasons. Heirlooms are good for speeding thru trivial content but when leveling to 60 is not trivial, seeking items in azeroth is important.
3) they will wire in to current client. I guess this because it would be a bad business decision to take players out of the main wow Portal. They don't want you to really forget about live wow.
4)barrens chat will be barrens chat
5) lots of minmaxing, similar to p99, from vets. Non minmax combos will only be rolled by noobs and edge Lords. This will diminish the classic feel.
