Why?

Though it is implementable, it appears to introduce an unnecessary
additional chunk of code in all implementations, and thus IMHO is
objectionable.

Let's keep it as simple as possible.

I am opposed to adding more flexibility without authoring benefit.

As far as I know, there is no authoring benefit to doing the second over the
first.

If someone has found (or authored) an actual real world example in the wild
that demonstrates as such, let's start with that.

We need to be very diligent about adding flexibility to the format *only*
when it provides a concrete benefit to the author, driven by actual use
cases.
