Another thing, I guess, is making it easy for musicians without programming knowledge to smoothly embed their own articulation signs, note heads, clefs, and other font symbols into LilyPond at runtime: Just define a new articulation sign or note head shape or clef at the top of your .ly file with a single short line of scheme code that references some, say, .eps file. I think this is still not that easily possible, right? (Please correct me, if I am wrong.)
Sounds good.
Personally, I am even not sure of how to properly notate contemporary music. Yes, I have seen e.g. excerpts of Stockhausen's score of his Studie II, and Wehinger's aural score of Ligeti's Artikulation, as well as a score of Kagel. (LilyPond's short, long and very long fermata signs were actually inspired by this score of Kagel.) Still, I am not satisfied with such notation: At least to my perception, it typically does not represent well essential nuances of e.g. electronic sounds.
I think we should make as few such decisions as possible and rather stick with such notation as is already widely recognised as quasi-standard, e.g. following Kurt Stone, Music Notation in the Twentieth Century (Norton, New York 1980).
