I suppose it's a matter of what you want to aim for: a truly exhaustive
list, or a "marketing" list?
For the latter, it's probably better to focus on features that are not
that mundane or expected (e.g. TGA, PNG, JPG ... image loading is
somewhat mundane; dynamic lighting is expected; the "Node-based system
for combination of shaders" is probably somewhat more unusual). Of
course, the "expected"/"mundane" feature set differs between people...
looking at what other engines advertise might give an idea about that.

Some "features" seem to be more like implementation details (shader
caching, binary XML), so not sure to what extent they should be
mentioned at all.

Having an exhaustive list may nevertheless be useful, if only as a
target for links in the kind of "see all rendering features".
