Off the top of my head, my list of todo's is:
Find and fix bugs, or at least push Javi to fix them ;).
Add a warning / error feature for direct addressing of memory outside the 
current page.
Beef up the test suite to run under Linux / Cygwin instead of DOS.
Look at speeding up the complier.  (only if its easy)
Look at what it would take to add support for other processors (AVR, 8051, the 
USB enabled PIC16C765/JW - 2 PIC I'm getting samples for ;)

Figure out how to make CTAGS work with JAL code.
Add featues to my VIM syntax definition file (needs an indenting spec)  BTW 
Bram has accepted my current jal.vim :)
