No problem, GPB61 :-)
*rubs hands together* hehehe, I'm working on a plugin that will allow for exactly the type of user interaction that you specified. It's not yet at a stage where custom user fields can be created, but let's just say that it and its child plugins will allow for users to register one account to access a message board, shoutbox, threaded comments system and a private messaging system. Though not an i18n plugin, in the spirit of i18n it is language compatible (using i18n's language hooks), be easily used with Special Pages to generate custom members-only messages and will be fully i18n search-able. Can't put a date on when it'll be released because it's taking me a lot longer than expected, but hopefully it's a step in the right direction.
Sidenote: Your request is currently not possible with Special Pages on its own because the user data would need to be stored somewhere, and Special Pages is designed for structuring and outputting data already stored in the page's own XML file, not for writing new data to it (especially using front end queries). The input data would require its own separate data structure (either text files, XML files or a MySQL database) -- that is what I'm aiming to do with my plugin, using DM Matrix and its XML database structures.
Back to Special Pages: The only other non-trivial addition that I can think would be beneficial to Special Pages is the use of the new HTML5 input fields. Particularly ones like date and datetime. As custom/special fields it would make date selection fathoms easier. In fact, it means that you wouldn't need to worry about using creDate or pubDate if you have a very specific timeline to create/replicate - you'd set up the dates/times with that custom field and use i18n search to just order by that new field thanks to mvlcek's latest update.
