Incidentally has the US filed its formal extradition paperwork yet? We can only speculate what charges Assange will face in US court until that document is filed.

The official charges will probably be put online as part of court transcripts eventually but I'd expect a journalist (or even Assange's lawyer) will post it sooner.

However it looks like the US indictment[0] is more or less the same as the formal charges will be, considering the exact same maximum sentence as for the indictment was stated at the UK hearing (five years).
