Here's a controversial proposal: allow external links to be wrapped in double brackets: [[http://foo.com]].
[[http://foo.com]] almost certainly is intended to be rendered as <a href="http://foo.com">[1]</a>, I agree. However, [[http://foo.com foo]] may well be wanted as [<a href="http://foo.com">foo</a>] (ie. [foo] with only the inside linked). Would your plan only be for external links with default link text, or would it be for all external links? If the latter, I think it's a bad idea.
