About the future
deluxe edition:
Have you considered arranging the text into chapters and verses? It would make working around footnotes more easy and making it possible to have more of them, including the Index of Names in the end similar to the latests english versions.
Other than that, looks good, but I personally would prefer some possible font where the lowercase letters were a bit bigger, because at least my eyes are not really used to alternative letters and I often find myself squinting while reading text like that. Maybe it is just me!
I think that modern readers are becoming more and more dislocated from old sources along the writings that mention them, so to give the codex the value it deserves it could have pages of images about various topics besides the codex. Just bump up the prize, I'm sure people are willing to buy it. Just to give an example, many images found from here:

So by placing more written content per page -> more space for images. Just an idea!
To add to the last source, here's images based on the carving inside the Royston Cave, propably left back by some templar prisoners, right page, lower left corner:

About the edition that would have
only the translation, because the language of the codex plays such importance:
#1.
I wish that the contents of codex in the the pages 045-047 and could be included in a similar way it was done in revised edition, with both litteration and translation, in all future editions. This opens more possibilities to make use of footnotes
(when refering to the pages 045-047 of the codex, or more; some parts onwards to the page 049, also 082-085 and 157-163?), which in my opinion should be plenty, especially relating to the ''religious'' (world view) aspects, and this way would make the translation more rich. ''aewa also means ‘ae-like’ — water-like''
Further regarding footnotes like I described, about words found from the codex, through that constructing the written language
can be explained in short. Examples of some possible correlations, distinctions and other things from fryskednis-blog, including some examples of ideas by me:
