HTML/Javascript
If this already exists, forgive me. I'm frequently awed by how rich Zotero already is.
I know Zotero's API makes access with JavaScript relatively easy. So why not have a simple feature that would use JavaScript to create a formatted reference in HTML? I guess this would be a translator.
A good initial use for this would be a preview window showing the reference in final, formatted form. EndNote has this feature.
A second use would be inserting formatted citations in web pages. It would be especially useful for a wiki, which can be a very useful tool for organizing notes. I've been playing around with TiddlyWiki, and the ability to create an individual "tiddler" for a reference in a Zotero database would be a terrific boon.

Plaintext citations can be copied to the clipboard using Quick Copy (settings under Export in the Zotero prefs), and the style used is configurable on a per-domain/path basis.
There's a ticket for Quick Copy of HTML.
