That's exactly why it would be logical to keep the characters in the story. I'm fairly certain that if you had asked Heath Ledger, he'd want the character to keep going if he couldn't. He's the core antagonist of Batman. You don't need to have him in every scene again, but I would definitely like to see some other actor get the chance to take up the role and re-instate Joker as a major villain for a potential fourth film.
They could take the Two-Face storyline from The Dark Knights Returns comic book, too, which you know, just sounds like a direct sequel to a movie called The Dark Knight, so it's doubly fitting. Harvey Dent convinces people that he is sane again, and Gotham is in anarchy, so they turn back to The White Knight of Gotham. Dent finally accepts skin-graphs, and re-enters society, despite Bruce Wayne being mighty suspicious of him.
