One thing that would be neat is when there are variant stroke orders to be able to easily read about the variant, ie is it japanese vs chinese or taiwanese vs mainland, older generation vs new etc...

For variant characters, that would be easy. I'm not sure I see the appeal of adding stroke order variant notes to all those characters--perhaps better would be an expanded explanation on our stroke order page of different styles:

Mmmmm, every time skritter lets me do two different stroke orders I want to know which one I should be learning (:

Hate to say this, but I was studying for over a year before I bothered to fix my stroke order. Even then it was only because Skritter made it convenient to fix. If the result you write out is correct, I wouldn't worry to much.

I also know a guy who always uses the Japanese stroke order even when writing in a Chinese class. His stroke order is often closer to correct Chinese stroke order than some of his teachers'.
