No language on age, even though I am personally okay with 16/30 and retroactive provisions for people with degrees.
No language on travel restrictions, though I would be fine with the restrictions they have for green-card holders.
No language about prior record, especially about misdemeanors (for the reasons mentioned previously in this thread). Personally I would be okay with language that says you have to keep out of trouble when you are given status, but I don't like punishing people for crimes they have already made good on, especially if they are minor crimes that probably resulted from being here illegally.
No language on taxes, even though I would not object to having somebody pay back taxes if they skipped out on them.

I would be okay with a provision for graduation in 6 years, assuming you could work to support yourself through school. Then again, I would not mention that as a possible bargaining point.

Well, this is all just a personal opinion, and like I said I would keep it as vague as possible, so I would not be specific even as those things I don't object to on your list.

Being undocumented is not a crime.

What does that tell about a Dreamer who has taxes left to pay? Moral character issue.
