+Supporting or switching to MultiMarkdown would take care of a few of the outstanding feature requests. Quoting from the MultiMarkdown site:
+
+>MultiMarkdown is a modification of John Gruber's original Markdown.pl file. It uses the same basic syntax, with several additions:
+
+> 1. I have added a basic metadata feature, to allow the inclusion of
+> metadata within a document that can be used in different ways based
+> on the output format.
+
+> 2. I have allowed the automatic use of cross-references within a Markdown
+> document. For instance, you can easily jump to
+> [the Introduction][Introduction].
+
+> 3. I have incorporated John's proposed syntax for footnotes. Since he
+> has not determined the output format, I created my own. Mainly, I
+> wanted to be able to add footnotes to the LaTeX output; I was less
+> concerned with the XHTML formatting.
+
+> 4. Most importantly, however, I have changed the way that the processed
+> output is created, so that it is quite simple to export Markdown syntax
+> to a variety of outputs. By setting the `Format` metadata to `complete`,
+> you generate a well-formed XHTML page. You can then use XSLT to convert
+> to virtually any format you like.
+
+MultiMarkdown would solve the BibTex request and the multiple output formats would make the print_link request an easy fix. MultiMarkdown is actively developed and can be found at:
