Any news about custom item creation in 3.5?

[MerakSpielman]

I'm talking about calculating the price for custom items here.

People have complained that the item creation rules in 3.0 are inconsistent at best, and an incomprehensible jumble at worst. Even after you figure out how to price an item, it seems that lots of items in the DMG were not priced according to these very rules.

I think people have more or less agreed on a way of figuring out prices right now, but you can still get 4 or 5 different answers if you post an "how much does this item cost to create" thread.

Has there been any news about consolidation and clarification of these rules in 3.5?

Well, since the list of feats does not show a major revision to the feats necessary for item creation - what makes "Forge Ring" so d*mn special anyway? - then I at least know that the revision I wanted to see won't be in 3.5.
