An excellent analysis! I fully agree, except that I don't think
wgCanonicalNamespace should be used, since:

1) If it is used, it will be displayed in link titles and on hover, so it will
look uglier and might even be not understandable to all users; and,

2) I'm not sure that custom namespaces exist in this form.

Since when adding a link we are contacting the local Wikipedia anyway in order
to get the autocomplete list, we can request the canonical name at the same
time with minimal overhead.

Another posibility is to make a function similar to Title::newFromText() that
could be locale-aware and normalize links in any locale (but what to do with
custom namespaces again?)
