When (if?) patching gets rolling a little more smoothly, I'd hoped to update the scheme to allow things like [id://6364&usersearch=tye|Tye's nodes] and perhaps [/?op=randomnode]. Making "//" mostly optional could be rolled in as well.

One problem with "//" being optional is that you could no longer use [] to link by title to a node whose title was like "this: that" where "this" was one of the many link keywords (the list of which keeps growing). Though this seems a very minor problem and you already can't link to a node titled "id:// should just be id:" that way, so I'd probably just want to add a [title:...] form as well.

It'd also be nice if you could use URL escapes to, for example, linking to nodes with "|" in their titles. And it'd be nice if the title-handling code were cleaned up so that ' and " would no longer cause title truncation when replying, < and > would not be stripped (giving titles like "How to use codeuse/code"), etc.
