This would introduce more ambiguousness, since conditions still may 
be separated by whitespaces or commas. In the example above it's not
clear how to interpret "Class": Is it a window name, icon name, 
class name or resource name or a special match identifier?

The syntax proposed by you would be OK if whitespaces were
abolished as condition separators.
