Primarily packaging.
06 RL came in 2 trim levels. BASE (everything as is 05 RL) and a TECH (which added a package of ACC/CMBS/PAX).
07 RL came in 3 trim levels. A new BASE (Deleted NAVI, AFS, real wood trim), TECH (same as the 06 BASE that had NAVI, AFS and real wood trim) and a TECH + ACC/CMBS/PAX
The naming conventions were determined by one of the Acura lunatics, likely now a design studio genius.
There may have been some color changes too, Meteor Silver was dropped and silver color name changes. ONSTAR was standard on 2005 & 2006 but dropped on 2007+ models. Also in 2007 & 2008 there was a mysterious number of RLs without a shark fin, that returned in 2009+ on all models.
Otherwise no one would really know the difference between models.
There are a few threads discussing this, obviously a few years old now.

I would have to agree with you on Wiki, but in this case, FWIW, I have done much (though not all) of the work on the RL Wikipedia page, the SH-AWD page and the Michelin PAX page, and try to keep the topics fairly accurate and up to date. I know I am not the end all font of knowledge, but it has been an entertaining activity.
I had a whole section on mods and measurements for various mods that was stricken by the editors as out of scope. I was looking for a place to pull together all the knowledge on this forum. Thought Wiki would be a good place.
Acuranews.com has a wealth of info in it as well for individual model years.
