In addition to the stuff already mentioned:

************* TODO remember ideas
*************** respect pop-up-windows
*************** if the target file for org-remember is already known
use the control variables from that file
that way you can have your todo sequence available
*************** if org-remember does not recognize the type,
abort completely
*************** org-remember should be reentrant
able to call itself from inside itself if you have a note
you want to add that is not related to the one you are
adding.
*************** org-remember-templates takes a character
can it take a function key?
*************** emacs-w3m tight integration with org-mode
  - might be interesting to use an org-mode file to store
    bookmarks.  this would require changing the way
    bookmarks are added, to store them in a way similar to
    org-remember.
  - perhaps antenna can also be integrated with org-mode.

*************** org merge org-annotate-file with remember code
to allow annotating anything
also have a hook for opening files and w3m pages etc. that
will print in the minibuffer "this file/page/directory is
annotated.  press ... to see the annotation".

*************** brainstorm: support asking for the template
after the note was entered.

this might complicate things too much.

this is a tricky one to design, but the philosophy is that
the time between having an idea and entering it should be
minimal.  choosing the template type is a cognitive burden
before you enter the idea.

so dedicate a remember shortcut to the concept of "let me
enter this now".  c-c c-c, it asks you details like is this
a todo item?  and which file does it go to?

you would have a remember template that allows for other
remember templates to be chosen after you enter the note.

ideally, it works like this:

  1.  call org-remember like that
  2.  enter note
  3.  c-c c-c
  4.  choose whether it's a note, journal, or shopping item
  5.  if it's note or journal, choose whether it's todo
  6.  if it's note or journal, choose tags (RET for none)
  7.  show completed buffer
  8.  y to accept; n to edit

nested plists?

P.S.  :prepend -- org-refile also needs this, separately from adding
notes in reverse order.
