This would indeed be new behaviour, not something to be thrown into the new parser without being in the old parser.
Yup. But that's also a valid subject for this list. I think I wrote somewhere in the description for this list that it's for discussion both of alternative parsers for current wikitext, and possible future changes to wikitext, particularly big ones. Small changes that can be implemented in the current parser, and particularly bugs in the current parser, are better discussed on wikitech though.
This particular change strikes me as something that should be option for the installation in question. It would probably be a minor nuisance if anything on an English-speaking installation, but for French, German etc it would probably improve rendering a bit.
