Creating a core create_edit_page() function of some sort.  Quoting myself:

"I need an edit page for Post Type X.  It needs (for example) the Main Text Box, Tags, and Excerpt.  Bang!  Done."

Set it up so that plugins can readily use this with custom post types, but also the standard Edit Post/Page pages should run off the same code.  (Keeps things consistent and consolidated.)

...plus whatever else people suggest that seems like a solid enough concept.
