Just to clarify: I was talking solely about user interface.
For the purpose of this discussion, I don't care if the the underlying
markup for 1:1 links is "[[Link Target]]" or "[[Link Target|Link
Target]]".
(Generally, I do prefer the first format, so that the text files are
easier to read and edit manually.)

And I agree that there must be an option to make the label different
from the target.
I described the "text is the link" model because it affords a more
intuitive and fluent GUI, to spark discussion about capturing its good
qualities in a GUI that does allow text to differ from the link.
