map height wasn't raised he simply made it easier to configure or for mods to utilize not by default or toggleable you still need to go into the coding it's just less complex and the generation code is updated to support it.
I've already planned my first world and how I'll live in it. First, I'm going to find the nearest river to spawn and setup a small house next to i, with a boat dock, mining system, and a massive farm(due to animals not respawning, i will need to make a massive farm, at least 2+ chunks in size), and I will build up enough food and iron to take with me an my adventure up river, and out to the ocean. Then I will cross that ocean, maybe camp out and setup a small outpost on the islands along the way. after I cross the ocean, i will setup a large multi-story fortress with an even bigger farm than before, a monumental mining system to strip the new continent of all of it's resources, then take all of those resources and expand my empire back across the ocean, claiming all of the Islands i can find.

wow. I sound extremely narcissistic. but it sounds like it would be awesome
Probably what I do when I start every world: transform a large tree into a raised dirt-ball house with a removable/replacable pillar of sand or gravel to get up/down (until I get ladders, fences, etc, and change the dirt for something nicer looking). That is, unless something much more interesting is within reasonable distance of spawn. I tend to choose defensible position over aesthetics.
i had played about 3 minecraft demos now and now i'm certain that i'm either going to make a cave house where it does the walls for me or live in a village so i won't feel lonely =)
but since i'm trying on hard mode
a npc house temporarily.
i'll need to find at least 6diamonds
jeb mentioned that enderman won't be dropping diamonds on the 1.8 update
