I noticed in a few books teaching Arabic for foreigners that the  
conjunction wa,'and' is typed as a separate word.

Ya Mustafa,
      I'll take you at your word:  have you found any string of nouns in  
MWA like:  "A, B, C, wa-D" as opposed t
the normative "A, wa-B, wa-C, wa-D?"  i.e. without the  /waaw/s?  Thank  
you and best wishes,     --ms

I don't think this is an example of MSA accomodating European  
languages. In the Quran you can find many examples where the resumptive  
pronoun is missing:
 
4/81 bayyata Taa'ifatun minhum ghayra alladhi taquul
6/56 qul inni nuhiitu ann a9buda alladhiina tad9uuna min duuni Allaah
6/90 'ulaa'ika alladhiina hada Allaah.
9/110 laa yazaalu bunyaanahumu-lladhi banau riibatan fi quluubihim
13/30 alladhi awHayna ilayka
 
There are similar structures with maa and man.
