I believe you're right that PMX doesn't now use "!" at all. And I'd be glad to help however I can. But I'm very unclear on what you are proposing "at the PMX level". Would the stuff after "!" be PMX command(s), in-line TeX to be put into \atnextline, or something else? And if it is just stuff to go in \atnextline, what would be the advantage over simply using inline TeX within PMX?
