Odd that you would include a few items that aren't a part of most editions of D&D, like cleric domains and skill ranks. Kind of hard for those to be sacred cows when they weren't in the game for three or four editions.
All I really need for it to be D&D is levels, races and classes.
If the specifics do not matter, then Tunnels & Trolls -- which also has six ability scores, and saving rolls -- is D&D.Levels, races, and classes are the only things I consider absolutely essential.

and dare i say it: some kind of resourcemanagment (so no shifty daily/encounter/at -wills).
