I think that you should work out the integration of Magnus' own scheme with the present code, recreating what we had on [[test:]] back then.

I'd be perfectly happy to do that, but I'd prefer to do it with a syntax and design that's extensible to other metadata. That way, if or when it's endorsed, we can actually *use* the other metadata we think up.
Just change Magnus' [[categery:foo]] to [[category=foo]].
Magnus's design is pretty cool, and I think all I'd have to do is tweak a couple of things to make it work with in a field-value pair context.
Frankly, I find most of the metadata proposals on this thread rather fishy. (I mean, do we really need [[discussion=Talk:Foo]]???) But categories were popular, so you can get started. Then allowing more becomes a wiki-by-wiki decision, so Wikitravel's needs won't be limited by the cramped vision of me and The Cunctator (any many others) on the English Wikipedia. ^_^
