It would be nice to have the ability to prevent certain animals from de-spawning including hostile and non-tame able mobs. And yes I'm suggesting this for the sole purpose of a zoo, shhhhhhh.

also it would be nice if it wasn't light related so that animal enclosures can have moody lighting.

In real life, pigs and other animals will revert to a more wild look when not in captivity and those same animals can be "Re-domesticated" to a more familiar appearance. What I'm suggesting  is that some tamable animals have an texture/model change as the generations (tameness) change i.e. pigs turn pink (or other domestic pig colorations) when fully tamed as well as reduced tusk less hairy etc. there could also be in-between stages but I'm not sure.
