Zero page is great, but has limitations, for sure. Lots of moving stuff back and forth into the accumulator in order to do anything with it. And not relocatable like in the 6809 or 65816 "direct page".

Some nice simple extensions to the 02 architecture would be:

1) relocatable direct page and stack like in the 816. 2) some way of aliasing A to a direct page address to avoid doing it by hand.
