A metacomment: StataCorp tend not to say yes or no to such requests, but
they do read and think about them carefully.
For myself, I understand what 1) and 2) imply in broad terms, but 3) is
not at all clear.

Subject: st: basic feature requests
.
I'm growing my list. :)
(1) support for factors throughout Stata instead of xi
I feel this is a useful convenience feature. It is present is the
other packages like SAS and R.
(2) support for unicode
Note that SPSS 16 had added this, along with a JAVA interface, Python
scripting, and R plug ins. How many times have people asked for
special characters in graphics? Stata graphics are the best on the
market, except for this feature.
(3) robust reporting capability
Splus 8 from Insightful Corp has added an independent clinical trials
analysis and reporting module completely conversant with SAS macros if
needed. Duck and cover SAS.
