The first one is that it displays the line numbers using only as many
columns as needed for the largest line number it has already shown; it
does not take into account the number of lines in the buffer. This is
quite noticeable, for example, in

  emacs -Q -f view-emacs-news -f linum-mode

vs.

  emacs -Q -f view-emacs-mode -l nlinum -f nlinum-mode

Also, linum mode's linum-before-numbering-hook and linum-format are
quite useful for non-standard line numbering. Equivalent functionality
would be nice.
