Class Skills: Nobody but rogues and rangers have spot and search as a class skill. A few more classes have listen (barbarian, bard, monk, ranger, rogue)
Spell Failure: If clerics can cast somatic spells while wearing any type of armor, there's no reason why wizards/sorcerors can't wear any armor at all. I can see a vague point in wizards/sorcerors not being able to wear most armor, since they're not trained to wear armor like the fighter classes and they have weaker constitutions (smaller HD). But they should be able to wear some types of light armor without arcane penalties, and gain those as a class proficency. Examples are padded armor, leather armor, and armored shirts (chain, particularly); potentially even studded leather. A set of bracers could be added to make a semi-complete (and rather expensive) set of armor.
