You are right, the processing must be kept as low as possible. This
feature could be optional.
But the new possibilities are great. Imagine a multi user site. The
webmaster could configure only three possible attributes for images:
r, l and c. That would be much easier for all users. And at any time
the webmaster could change the real XHTML parameters those pseudo
parameters produce. Really wiki!

Good idea. Now I'm experimenting with an alternative (a bit
simplified) version of BOLTMuploads:
MarkUp('links', 'uploads2', '/\{\{(.*?)\}\}/e',
'BOLTMmyuploads("$1")');
I'll send the code when ready. Some simplifications could be used in
the current BOLTMuploads.

Some substitutions would need regexp somehow, I think. I see several
possible substitutions:
1) mnemonic to any ready XHTML:
r ===> class="right" border="2"
2) mnemonic to synonym:
t="bla bla bla bla" ===> title="bla bla bla bla"
3) mnemonic to several synonyms:
l="en" ===> lang="en" xml:lang="en"
In the last two cases, the original attribute content has to be used
in the right place(s) of the translation. That requires some kind of
internal markuping or regexp.

I think the idea is very interesting and worths further thinking. I'll
write some code and we'll see how it works.
Another idea: a similar simpler effect can be achieved rigth now using
{vars}:
$BOLTvar['$r'] = 'class=right';
$BOLTvar['$l'] = 'class=left';
{{ things/house.jpg|House|{r} }}
{{ things/cabin.jpg|Cabin|{l} }}
It can be used for the first kind of substitution.
