Mac App Store compliance

Could someone please list the (primary) issues developers need to pay attention to in order to make Mac apps compliant with the new store? I have a Mac app I've been selling for years. It uses a non-standard interface. It also auto-updates when it first starts. Is it problematic to simply

Thanks, Richard. Could you expand on the issue of non-standard GUI elements?... perhaps some examples of what is not acceptable? If self-updating is not allowed, what is the easiest alternative? Or is this app store going to operate like the iPad store, where the OS always informs the user
