Hi, I'm probably jumping into to this thread at it's end... but the syntax 
seems a bit confusing for me.

Ok, now I'm lost...

Was the idea of using something like this discarded earlier:

	[[some page title="Title of the link"]]

Not sure I got the part about not allowing titles for plain links... why 
couldn't
	[[SomePage title="Title of link"]]

work. For the examples above we'd get:

	[[some page title=+]]

	[[+ -> some page title=+]]

I'm still confused about the '+' though..

Oh, that's a good point. Do you know of a page where we could simply go to
with our browsers and check?
