I shudder to continue because such a list can get very long very fast (I
had
to stop myself, for example, from making a level under Links for Images
and
Categories). But you get the idea. IMO, a partial spec in any of the
above
areas would be better than none at all (and in several of those cases, a spec may already exist)
I remember seeing a proposal for modifying the link/inclusion syntax so that [[ ]] was always a link to a page and {{ }} was always an inclusion.
Therefore to link to an image description page you would use [[Image:foo]], and to include an image on a page you would use {{Image:foo}}. It also dropped the single/double square-bracket distinction between internal and external links (all links used same method), and made a few other suggestions for improvements.
I can't remember where the page is, and couldn't find it on Google, so if anyone else remembers please chime in. On the whole I remember the proposal being, on the whole, very good except for that one little sticking point: backward compatibility ;-).
However, if you're not worried about backward compatibility, then I suggest you check this out as a first point of call.
