Simply, {{Foo/{{{1}}}|...}} links to different pages, while
{{Foo|{{{1}}}|...}} points to the same page. I had been frustrated when I
tried to use Labeled Section Transclusion to build template libraries :-),
that would be an excellent way to build "collection of objects" into a wiki
page, both of "methods" and "attributes"... ... but #lst doesn't parse raw
wiki code "from scratch". If it would (t.i.: if #lst would read wiki code
"as it is", before any parsing of it, ignoring at all the code outside
labelled section: t.i. ignoring noinclude, html comment tags... anything)
interesting scenarios would raise.
But, if there's no performance gain with {{Foo|{{{1}}}|...}} trick, I'll use
{{Foo/{{{1}}}|...}} for sure. KISS is always a good guide line. :-)
