I do a lot of product visualisation, and the thing people want the most is that perfect white studio with floor reflections. Maxwell is great for it, but the only issue I run into a lot is having to manually cut out those reflections in post.
I have object/material ID's for everything else in order to accurately cut out my renders in Photoshop, but what I'd love is the ability to have these ID's show up in select reflective materials because at the moment, I'm literally mirroring the model goemetry to give me the render channels I need. This isn't great for system resources and results in me having to add materials to twice the amount of models and produce an extra render.
I've thought about it a bit and it sounds like a difficult thing to add, but thought I'd mention it either way. Maybe it could be set up simularly to how the Shadow channel is?
