Using just,  ( and  ) should be probably enough for now. Once VE is online, we can test the types as much as we want and rework the TDs.

As far as I understand the other types(, but not sure, too):
 * content: "should" be used for formatting and inserting/using of images and links, doesn't matter if using it directly like  or using templates. You still have to use whole syntax (brackets and stuff like this)
 * unbalanced-wikitext: probably thinks like which little code/wikitext but nethertheless inserts the whole page Santa (about this one I'm absolutely not sure :-D)

About the date...I think, using each for day, month and year individual parameters would be easier to edit. Personally, I think a format with written month (3 letters are enough) is easier to understand. Visitors would have to look up or ask which date format we're using, sometimes it's clear (2014-02-20), but when I see 2014-02-09, I'm not sure I could always tell which one is day or month.

Finally, parameter requirement, I think "type", "power", "tax" and "dispatch" would be reasonable, not sure about "set", but the other 4 you shoul know creating a train infobox
