Because you want to avoid using a single syntax for multiple purposes
if different contexts. We should not tell our users "[[en:*" is an
interlanguage link, except when it occurs on a page that starts with
[[Tag:. It is already too damn confusing that [[en: is an
interlanguage link and [[w:en: an interwiki link. (Where I should add
that interlanguage and interwiki links are generally used in wikispeak
as synonyms for the same concept, but where the concept is ambiguous.)
