I am not an implementor nor a designer, and hope not to speak out of turn, so take my reply for what it is: no, there are no such plans.

I am curious why you think that _^_ should be considered indeterminate. There seems to me to be no problem with it; the limit as x->_ of x^x is _.

0%0 is discussed at https://www.jsoftware.com/papers/eem/0div0.htm, and 0^0 on page 6 at https://arxiv.org/PS_cache/math/pdf/9205/9205211v1.pdf.

I disagree with your statement that these operations do not work as they 'should', mathematically. Mathematically, they are perfectly well defined and consistent. That other definitions are used does not seem especially significant; the question should be whether the present definitions are convenient, useful, and sufficient. I think that they are, though I would welcome arguments to the contrary.
