I'm replying to this again and addressing the differences individually...
The 10D has a metal body (magnesium alloy), the 300D is plastic
Yes, the 300D is a bit more plasticky and a little less appealing (I don't like the silver look... Japan is now selling a black 300D)
The 10D shoot at 3 fps for 9 frames, the 300D shoots at 2.5 fps for 4 frames
If you need to shoot successive frames that fast then this is relevant.
The 10D has ISO up to 3200, the 300D has ISO up to 1600
ISO1600 is already quite noisy (random speckles of green, red and blue), although if you are shooting for the web (ie shrinking the image dimensions) then this will help reduce the apparent noise. You'll only need to use these really high ISOs if you are shooting in very low light, or want to capture sharp images of very fast motion.
The 10D has a PC socket for flash, the 300D doesn't
Again this may not be relevant unless you have professional flash units
The 10D has a rear control dial, the 300D doesn't
I've found the rear control dial on my film body to be too easy to twist as I pick up the camera or move my hand, so it stays switched off most of the time.
The 10D takes the same grip (BG-ED3) as the other Canon DLSRs, the 300D has it's own grip
Really only relevant if you already own this grip. You may not even need a grip (which holds extra batteries)
The10D takes the RS-80N3 remote (same as EOS-3, 1v, 1D, 1Ds), the 300D uses the RS-60E3
Again... unless you already own the remote does it matter?
The 10D has a pentaprism, the 300D has a pentamirror (usually not as bright)
This could be an issue if you're doing "no second chance" photography in very low light. The image in the viewfinder will be harder to see.
The 10D has 17 custom functions, the 300D has no custom functions as far as I can tell from the specs.
This is correct. There is hacked 300D firmware that does enable several 10D custom functions though. Have a look at the 10D custom function list and decide how important they are.
Hope this helps...
