Just found this link while reading the NAFI newsletter. Didn't have too long to sit and interpret this, but it seems the FAA is getting rid of the "taxi to" instruction. Now we have to get a specific clearance every time we cross a runway.

Seems like a step in the right direction; if I'm understanding it correctly.
