I didn't know this existed. But to be useful for Markdown (which I'd also like very much), it would need options for formatting emph and strong regexs (currently '/' and '*' in org-mode, would need to be '*' and '**' for Markdown) and also links.
I'm not sure what :body-tags-{prefix,suffix} actually do, but that sounds promising. Link formatting would need to be added, but it seems like adding a :body-link-address and :body-link-description would pretty much take care of it. If this isn't currently doable without patching org-export-generic.el, I can take a stab at providing such a patch (unless Alex was hankering for a weekend project :)).
