It'd be _less_ useful, but there are comments on various natlang
features.  Even a naturalistic language can have novel features, and
you could certainly find some inspiration.  But it is very long - I've
never finished it myself, which is why I'm so happy about Mike S's
HTML version.  Have you read Morneau's (much, much) shorter essays?
Most of them were originally submitted here, so perhaps you're already
familiar with them.  They're here http://www.srv.net/~ram/essays.html
