Based on comments from others, here is my updated list of differences between C&B and the various flavours of IOC. Further comments welcome.
On BARC list (based on IOC 2.9 with amendments):
Antipodean Albatross (split from Wandering Albatross) Northern Royal Albatross (split from Royal Albatross – and Royal Albatross renamed Southern Royal Albatross) Campbell Albatross (split from Black-browed Albatross) Salvin’s Albatross (split from Shy Albatross) Chatham Albatross (split from Shy Albatross) Indian Yellow-nosed Albatross (split from Yellow-nosed Albatross – and Yellow-nosed Albatross renamed Atlantic Yellow-nosed Albatross)
Eastern Cattle Egret (split from Cattle Egret – and Cattle Egret renamed Western Cattle Egret)
Red-collared Lorikeet (split from Rainbow Lorikeet) Western Grasswren (split from Thick-billed Grasswren)
Western Fieldwren (split from Rufous Fieldwren) Hornbill Friarbird (split from Helmeted Friarbird) Swan River Honeyeater (split from White-naped Honeyeater)
Green-headed Yellow Wagtail lumped with Eastern Yellow Wagtail
On IOC 3.1:
Western Quail-thrush (split from Chestnut-breasted Quail-thrush) Nullabor Quail-thrush (split from Cinnamon Quail-thrush)
Discussed (on birding-aus at least), but not official:
Western Shrike-tit (split from Crested Shrike-tit)
And I believe that C&B already lumps all ringnecks into one species, Australian Ringneck – which has also been adopted by IOC.

I think you may have missed Eastern Cattle Egret and Red-collared Lorikeet?

Hi birders,
Following is my analysis of the splits that are supported by IOC but not by Christidis and Boles:
Antipodean Albatross (split from Wandering Albatross)
Northern Royal Albatross (split from Royal Albatross – and Royal Albatross renamed Southern Royal Albatross)
Campbell Albatross (split from Black-browed Albatross)
Salvin’s Albatross (split from Shy Albatross)
Chatham Albatross (split from Shy Albatross)
Indian Yellow-nosed Albatross (split from Yellow-nosed Albatross – and Yellow-nosed Albatross renamed Atlantic Yellow-nosed Albatross)
Western Grasswren (split from Thick-billed Grasswren)
Hornbill Friarbird (split from Helmeted Friarbird)
Swan River Honeyeater (split from White-naped Honeyeater)
And the following are proposed splits, I believe:
Western Quail-thrush (split from Chestnut-breasted Quail-thrush)
Nullabor Quail-thrush (split from Cinnamon Quail-thrush)
Western Shrike-tit (split from Crested Shrike-tit)
Can anyone with more taxonomic experience than me please confirm these splits? Have I missed any splits that anyone knows about? Also, are there any lumps under IOC?
