Well, since they have jon in their team, I think we might expect some extra AI, and we have several sources now speaking of Mojang making a mod API as well with a completely new Multiplayer API thanks to Bukkit. I really hope this turnes out to be a bugfix update with some MINIMAL features, simply to put us on action until 1.4 (like in old beta when notch only added maps + huge bug fix list)... I'll put 2 sources here for the mod API, don't ask for more... search them your self...
All I want for 1.3 are some more construction blocks. Come on, Mojang! All they take is a crafting recipe/small addition to world generation and a new texture (or, more likely, a recolor of an old one), but they make the game so much better!
bug fixes? no thank you how about some red dragon sky world and new items/blocks i would also like to see what is with the wells and how they will come into the game. i would also like to see the item stand i think we've all waited long enough for that to be in vanilla. and the new NPC stuff is really cool i would like to see that be expanded on in 1.3 like maybe trading with them and i think i speak for all of us when i say please remove void fog in survival and new advanced video options would be nice... OK I've gone on a bit of a rant here and i know i'm wishing for more than will be in this update but this stuff needs to be added SOONER rather than Latter. + =
honesty i'm not even sure what bugs you guys are talking about I've only seen a few and they have been minor and if your computer runs minecraft badly i think you should get a new computer idc how much you whine about your computer running mc poorly its your problem deal with and stop blaming the mc dev team. SUCK IT UP!
1. Like no one really knows what will be released..
2. Lets fix any bug we can right now, instead of hurrying and getting out some **** update with even more bugs.

Lurk moar.
There are some bugs.
And even if they aren't obvious nor game-breaking, some of them have been going for maybe a year now. Which is ridiculous. And it also is annoying to encounter the same old bugs time after time. I think people just wish the team would take some time to tweak them so all of us could just move on.
Some may whine a bit much about it and spam the devs, but I think a community taking interest in them and inform the dev team about them can only help the development of a game.
I have not really looked for any information about 1.3 content in depth, but if Jeb is serious about implementing mod support, I would expect this update to be mostly an under the hood thing. I'm not saying there'll be no new features, but this is a big job and will likely be the centerpiece of this update.
95% of teens would scream if Justin Beiber was about to jump of the top of the Empire State Building. If you are in the 5% that would grab a seat and some popcorn and yell JUMP! JUMP! JUMP! post this into your sig.
You know you want too
I would love them to just sort out the boats, they are still painful to use and considering how massive the oceans can be, It is a pain to get across them at any good speed..
I am betting some sort of ruins or strongholds are going to spawn in the deserts with those new blocks that have been added. Might get a new mob like a mummy or something like that to guard them
Sorry to spoil your fantasy dreams but let's check some facts:
1) Next update will be mainly about the server-side modding API
2) The new mojangstas from Bukkit are not only creating the modding API but are also fixing bugs, especially multiplayer bugs (I can't find the source for that, sorry).
3) Probably a slightly better AI, maybe more complex Villagers' behavior (no source, but I doubt Jon will spend the next weeks doing nothing).
4) As usual, there may be new stuff but nobody really knows.
ridible mounts (red dragons, horses)
crafting recipe or stone blocks
cocoa beans drop from jungle trees
mod API
bug fixes
My guesses:
More villiger behavior
Mummy boss in a pyramid
ghast, squid,slime and other mob AI
as you all know... and
watch from 23:30
enjoy
2. Lets fix any bug we can right now, instead of hurrying and getting out some **** update with even more bugs.
Well lets let them fix those bugs before having another update with even more..
ps:my first post!

Sike, that is just to remind you that the blocks are decorative and probably not related to pyramids.
sadly, Jon has been working on Scrolls recently https://twitter.com/#!/jonkagstrom/status/181721940661248000
