That is true. However it is not a big deal to have an optional
argument. But it can only be used with  \psset because \pnode
uses the [x,y] for the offset. With the pst-node.tex from
http://texnik.dante.de/tex/generic/pst-node/
you can do something like this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pst-node}

\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid](5,5)
\psset{showNode}
\pnodes(0,0){ll}(0,5){ll}(5,5){ur}(5,0){lr}(2.5,2.5){c}
\dotnode(2.5,1){c0}\dotnode(2.5,4){c1}
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}
