Ok, this may sound stupid and far fetched but here me out. I'm not talking aero glass here, because it would ruin the flatness of WP.
I'm not sure what the name is, but on Windows 7 if you "shake" a window, all the windows behind it fade. Imagine being able to do this as a quick way to get back to the start screen. I'm not sure how well it could be implamented, but a short shake of the device could minimise everything and take you to start.
Aero snap, especially if Windows RT and Windows Phone are becoming 1. We all love snapping on Windows 8.1, but make it as powerful as the desktop aero, and by that I mean app stacking as well as being able to snap apps to the side, top, bottom etc. I'm not sure how possible this would be on ARM, but you should be able to pile apps on top of each other somehow. Then a gesture could be used to minimise a foreground app to reveal two others that were laying behind it. Actually if you enable the "Show windows store apps on the taskbar" option and close a modern app, you can almost see this in action already.
By true multitasking I mean changing the app model to work like Win32 with the stacking.
And as well, if anything like this was ever implemented, dear god make sure users have the OPTION to disable / enable it.
By the way, I'm not sure if any of these features would work on WP, but they would be welcome to Windows RT, and I here these are being merged
