Just got the slides for FAASTEAM CFI workshop #3 and the two core topics are:
Sport pilots and Light Sport Airplanes
IACRA
One thing stated in the presentation is that sport pilots cannot fly in furtherance of a business, nor demonstrate aircraft in flight to a buyer, nor participate in a charitable airlift. The furtherance of a business language was something I'd missed earlier.
Which to me means that a sport pilot may not ferry an LSA for a flight school (i.e. for maintenance), even if they aren't paid/compensated in ANY way, since that's in furtherance of a business.
Also (from the presentation speaker notes - and this content comes direct from FAA HQ

The talk around your airport is that sport pilots are not required to hold a medical certificate – but be careful saying that – because under the official definition, they DO hold a medical certificate. However, a sport pilot is not required to have the traditional medical certificate issued by an Airman Medical Examiner. (read the definition of medical certificate on the screen)
A sport pilot must possess either a traditional medical certificate issued by an AME or a current and valid US driver’s license
A sport pilot may use his/her driver’s license as the acceptable evidence of physical fitness.
