Workflow-Versionning, DBAL and PHP5 support for SysExt are worth a
TYPO3 version 4.0 to me !

That has the additional advantage of "breaking" the "I only use TYPO5" 
joke.   ;)

1-RTE WITH TT_LINK
The possibility to add links or images with a "middle-man" could be also 
interesting for the RTE.

What I mean is that AFAIK links and images are hardcoded in tt_content 
with a direct link to the file or link. We need to have no direct link 
to links or files.

Scenario: In 3 years, the client decide that all the black-theme images 
used inside content needs to turn to pink... Right now you have a direct 
link to files related to the filesystem written inside the record. You'd 
have to write a script to do a massive search and replace...

That’s why we need something in the middle and something integrated into 
the RTE. tt_link isn't integrated in the RTE itself right ?

2- BETTER PUBLISH TO STATIC
For performance, we all know that calls to DB are "expensives". Nothing 
beats plain/stupid HTML files at the filesystem level for performance. 
We also know the limitation of the actual feature in the Admin Panel...

Kasper, you wrote somewhere about 6 months ago that you were looking at 
that... It's probably off-radar right now but I think it's also 
something to look at. Maybe something easy to "Extensionize" as the 
german-only Outrax extension (http://www.outraxx.de/download.0.html) did 
for 3.5. ?

The CLI interface with a Cron Job and something robust from great coders 
could do the trick.

You shouldn't add a door open for suggestion with "- ???"  ;)
