I think Simetrical is wrong that such
"features...are hard to discover". How
on earth would you ever discover the current ISBN behaviour?
By seeing an existing ISBN link, saying "Hey, how did they do that?",
and looking at the page source. That's how people (at least techy
people) normally learn how to use various languages, they do it by
copying examples. If it got magically converted to a template, you
would say "Oh, it's just a template", and use the template. Unless
you happened to stumble across a specific discussion of the feature,
you would never know about it.
There's a reason, you know, that talk pages tend to have a message at
the top telling everyone about ~~~~.
