What are the internal and external differences between the higher dan grades?

I'm thinking 4 dan and above. Jeff Marsten's article in KW2 was very informative as to the requirements for achieving 7 dan. I will be eligible for 5 dan in 2004, so I'm interested in that transition specifically.

I'd be interested (and so would everyone else I think) to hear any of the higher ranked contributors to this forum relate their experience.
