Putting all external links in proper [[interwiki link standard]] form is the first step to supporting it in software directly.  If the [[standard wiki URI]] is also supported properly on the target wikis, the translation is automatic, no brains required, no knowledge of which version of [[MediaWiki]] or [[GetWiki]] they run, etc..  This is obviously necessary for the [[GFDL text corpus]] to evolve independent of [[Wikimedia]], which ought to be our goal.
