   how should this be rendered?

Can you explain this?? How is this different from [[!XYZ]] [[!ABC]]?

I guess I am unclear what problem you are trying to solve.

As I understand it, you want 4 options:

a. a link that doesn't mark a page as being in a category
      Category.SomeSubject

b. a link that marks a page as being in a category
      [[!SomeSubject]]

c. a reference to a category that isn't a link
      `Category.SomeSubject or [=...=] or [@...@]

d. a reference that marks a page as being in a category
   but isn't a link
      (:!SomeSubject:) proposed

Can we just use [=!SomeSubject=] or [@!SomeSubject@]?

What problem is (d) intended to solve, ie why do you want to do 
this and why does it need a new markup?
