You can already do this:
<div ex:role="lens" class="nobelist">
...
<ul ex:content=".co-winner">
<li>
Name: <span ex:content="value"></span>,
Age: <span ex:content=".age"></span>
</li>
</ul>
Child elements of an element with ex:content are used as a template for
rendering items that ex:content evaluates to. This solution requires you
to specify explicitly however many nested levels you need, but does not
cause infinite recursion.
