Feats Compendium
Class Compendium- Prestige & Base classes, though IMHO, many need significant reworking.
Psionics Compendium, complete with the Soulknife Feats printed in Dragon #341 and maybe Hyperconscious if they could work out a royalty agreement. Especially if it had a setting to support it, like...
Darksun
3.5 OA update incorporating the stuff from Dragon, of course.
3.5 Savage Species essentially done the way Monte Cook did it in AU/AE.
Spelljammer. I loved the Polyhedron 3Ed update, but wanted more.
Complete Aquatic (with Steve Zissou?) I can't overstate how many good aquatic adventures I've run or been through, or how many cool threads on this site are in my (currently unavailable) subscription page.

3.5 Updates of Monster Manual II and Fiend Folio, or better yet, a "Monstrous Compendium" collecting both books' contents updated to 3.5.
Born of Magic- A guidebook on magical beasts, oozes, and constructs, expanding on the origins and nature of purely magical creatures beyond "A Wizard Did It", and the impact of such created beings on the world.
Primal Legends- A guidebook on giants, fey, and elementals (including genies) detailing their place in the D&D world, and perhaps including a section on the mythic origins of (at least some of) these creatures and how to evoke the feel of real world legends in the D&D game.
Dirigibles & Dragons: The Complete Guide for Steampunk and Pulp Adventure for core D&D, including definitive stats for renaissance and industrial revolution era firearms, dirigibles, ironclads, and advice on introducing such technology into a core D&D world, including options for Magic vs. Tech, Magic/Tech fusion, and Tech only settings. A professionally designed and balanced item crafting system, and new options for the core classes as well as Swashbuckler, Warlock, and Artificer would round out the selection, along with stats for Tinker gnomes, tinker goblins, and a steam-driven warforged variant.
To be entirely honest, I don't think any of these were likely to come out of WotC. Also, before people start pointing me at steamtech supplements from 3rd parties, let me say that I own quite a few, but having a WotC-produced book would go a long way toward validating my preferred sort of D&D setting to DMs and players who only want to use WotC products in their games.

Unless there is some stealth errata somewhere, the 3.5 updates were contained in the free pdf describing the changes from 3.0 to 3.5 - it also included errata for ELH, Deities & Demigods, and a few other titles as well.

Rules Compendium is nice but I would have liked a complete Rules Cyclopedia that included everything from the PHB and DMG with revisions/errata, plus some extras such as the warlock class. But no spells, monsters, feats or magic items. I'd like to have seperate compendiums for all of those.
So one rulebook + 4 compendiums.

Pimp My Warforged: The Guide to Parts and Processors
101 Ways NOT to Make a Drow Just Like Drizzt
Also when 3 first came out Wizards released a killer program box set for PC containing EVERYTHING they ever published in 2nd ed. in a neat little package. I want one of those for 3.5!

An update of Dark Sun and a 3E version of the 2E World Builder's Guidebook would have been nice. Unfortunately, "build your own stuff"-style books were not a strong theme running into 3E. I'd have liked to see more things like the WBG, the Dungeon Builder version, or Creative Campaigning, these are great books that keep improving my games even nowadays.
