I'd say something more like:
Sharing Internet connection via IP-NAT and/or SOCKS

This should be worded differently, since it implies that standard Miami
doesn't work with cable modems. Some cable/DSL modems work with Miami;
others require PPPoE or PPTP. In principle it would make sense to support
PPPoE in Miami as well, but I'm not sure Holger intends to do so. PPTP
and L2TP wouldn't be usable in Miami without some serious kludgery,
though.

Also in Miami.

True but probably temporary. AFAIK Miami 3.3 will be updated to be
equivalent to MiamiDx for its subset of the features.

I'm not sure about the V5 part, but all Miami3.x versions have SOCKS
client support at some level. No SOCKSD in Miami for obvious reasons.

Yes, I'm putting this ahead of my current miamidx-ml backlog. :-)
You missed a couple of things that are listed on Holger's website. See:
http://www.nordicglobal.com/md.html
Additional things (not on the web page) that come to mind are:
Hostaliases database
SysCtl database
GUI-configurable manual routes and interface aliases
sanamni.device

Yes, I'm not sure why the history file was dropped.
