Since the SRD isn't 100% clear on all the restriction of mithral armor i've posted this thread to discuss it and come out with a ruling for LEW.
I propose mithral armor counts as one category lighter for ALL purposes. This includes the following:
Armor porficiency
Feats (such as armor specialisation)
Movement restrictions and encumbrance
Class abilites (such as a bard casting in light armor and a babaian's fast movement).
As a side note i'd like to add that a mithral heavy shield does not count as a light shield for things as having a hand free to cast spells and such.
