In what is the proposed syntax not simple? It reuses the well-known
{{{...}}} construct (for both the inline and block case) and extends it
a bit. Simple to understand and implement, and they nest cleanly.

Well, no. Macros are meant to provide clean content. Of course they can
(for now) already generate broken XHTML, but then the macros are broken.
I don't much see the benefit of preventing the use of (and breaking
compatibility with):
{{{
#!html
<div class="xyz">
}}}
...
If we're only replacing that by:
[[div(xyz)]]
...
which leaves the same possibilities to mess up the content.
The {{{...}}} approach is more robust and (IMO) also more readable.
Compare the following syntax:
-----------------------
{{{
Note: This is important
{{{
even more {{{important}}}.big
}}}.urgent
Thanks for listening.
}}}.note
-----------------------
With:
-----------------------
[[div(note)]]
Note: This is important
[[div(urgent)]]
even more [[span(big)]]important[[/span]]
[[/div]]
Thanks for listening.
[[/div]]
