For the sake of clarity, it all began (in September 2011) with the fact it was
more difficult to trap errors such as missing default value, in the
functional-syntax style. See
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/46888.
This also lead, a couple of weeks later (October 2011), to questionning the
multiple keywords used for code blocks, such as #+source: and #+srcname:. See
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/48399.
Best regards,
Seb
