Allowing <a> as other tags is infeasible because every link should be indexed in `externallinks` table.
Sure, so <a> would have to be indexed in the externallinks table too. That's perfectly doable.
The only way as I see it is making <a> an extension tag, which has disadvantages I stated; also, file-like syntax is my personal preference (<a>s may be used by spammers, by the way...). Anyway, it’s up to devs (seemingly Tim in particular) to decide.
By the way, we can allow some attributes for <img> tags, which take place in microformats too!
Like which?
http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard has a field for photo.
