If we're talking about literature as in litfic, I'd like to see Modernism taken out behind the barn and finally put out of it's misery. Modernism has been hogging the stage for too long, and we need room for Postmodernism and whatever the next movement will be. Who knows, it might actually get me reading the stuff.
If we're taking about literature as in the written word, I'd like to see either a thought mark character, or italics added to the basic unicode set. I'd like to be able to have my narrator read minds, without having to go back and italicize everything in an editing pass.
