I agree.

I have always taken the view that the <x> syntax was for presentation in
org mode, not for export, probably because I mostly use the <NN>
construct to be able to see wide tables in emacs...  Given the
capability of specifying :align on export backends, I don't think
there's any need for extending the current syntax.
