I like the idea in theory... would give TNT cannons more versatility. But I think the enchantments that enhance the TNT's destructive power (Mining Drill, Mass Destruction, Obsidiblast, etc.) should be slightly more difficult to get than the ones that are more neutral, like Miner's Friend. This would make griefing with enchanted TNT that much harder (though if your griefers have TNT something is going to be destroyed regardless, so it's not like they have to be considerably harder).
Edit: A really elegant way of doing the Mining Drill enchantment, at least from a programming perspective, is to give it a certain chance of dropping another lit TNT block with the Mining Drill enchantment (this way, it works recursively). 2% is really low, though; I'd go with maybe 50% at most. That way, your chances work as follows:
2 blocks: 50%
3 blocks: 25%
4 blocks: 12.5%
5 blocks: 6.25%
6 blocks: 3.125%
etc.
So on average you'll get about 2 blocks of TNT out of it, but you have a chance of getting more. The chance of getting a lot of TNT out of it is really slim and is in fact cut in half by each successive block.
Nice idea, I hope piano9uber puts this in. Also, how come 2 people just don't like the topic?
Piano9uber, I have been thinking about torch enchantments, and I have a suggestion for you:
Brightness: The torch's light level will increase by 3 for each level. Max. level:5
Multi-use: The torch has the same functionality as the redstone torch, but still lights up as much as a normal torch would. Max. level:1
Radar: If the torch is placed within 5 blocks of an ore, a star will pop up where the ore is. For each level the enchantment level increases, the amount of blocks away the ore can be detected will be increased by 1. Max. level:4

Very nice idea! I will definitely add some of those.
Thanks piano9uber for putting in my suggestion (and even crediting me!). I am thinking that you should be able to enchant some other utilities such as a furnace to help it burn faster, and enchantments similar to that.
what i want is a TNT upgrade it would be awesome i would give diamonds for it
The enchantment ideas are basically the same as "upgrading" it, besides it would save some coding for Jeb (and Notch later), because it would be adding enchantments rather than adding more items!

I already explained why that's a bad Idea. Enchantments are frustrating as hell, why add more pain to the game?
Enchanting anything other than tools is completely redundant and stupid.
I'm not wasting 500 freaking cobble just to get a furnace that burns faster when I could just get a few materials and UPGRADE it.
And no, it would not save any coding time whatsoever, they would have to recode the enchantment table entirely to accommodate for utilities. While coding new items is rather easy, just copy paste furnace text, then change a few variables. Hazaah, new upgraded furance

Please. Just stop fighting that this is horrible. Just...truce. Neither idea is so great and neither one is really "better" than the other. Now please...just stop it.

Enchanting is annoying, nothing will change that.
Upgrading is much more simple, and LESS FRUSTRATING.

Ok, enchanting tools gets annoying, but still, my ideas are not really that annoying! Now, please stop saying it's so much worse than upgrading. You please just stop advertising your idea, or I will be advertising my idea in your stupid posts.

I'm not advertising, I'm suggesting a better alternative. I just happened to come up with it myself, and before you even posted your thread.

Before it? Because I had thought of enchanting TNT!!! I did not know about your stupid post. Besides, I only saw it when you decided to put your post here. I never suggested upgrading items. I even put in that I would be enchanting UTILITIES. The more you post, there more I will be putting my link in your post.

Yes, you are advertising, whatever you call it, because you put your topic link, and you posting only serves to send my topic to the top of the suggestions...hehehe.
really? you had posted your url link VERY clearly in your post, putting it in the word "Upgrade". Just a reminder, when you post, you are only serving to move my topic to the top of the suggestions every time.
I've been thinking...I think there should be an enchantment for TNT:
Fireworks: This is for entertainment only, it would shoot up a lighted TNT after the enchanted TNT blows up, and that shot TNT would blow up harmlessly. This is solely for entertainment. Max. level:1

I will probably put it in, and I have no idea why they don't like the topic, and I don't see why it's not a good topic!

that's spamming, which I, mind you, am not doing
also, a furnace is a utility not an item
