There are probably a dozen different angles on improving the API, however... my number one would be support for any sort of custom object. It's nearly impossible to maintain anything inside of a Rev window. Note that the guys at Altuit did a masterful job with altBrowser, but that it still technically lives in a separate, borderless window that's been hacked to stay pinned to your Rev stack. And from what I gather (and my own experiments), that itself is not an easy task.

I'd say this is the #1 reason why we don't see things like true table and tree objects that are absolutely accessible through C APIs - tacking it on to a Rev stack is a nightmare.

If the external SDK included a standard way of maintaining your own custom objects, that would be a huge boon to external developers... even if it wasn't totally comprehensive. I'd be at the front of the line personally to implement a true table object, for example.

What changes would be needed to the externals API?
