An advantage of the new export engine is that a back-end can be as
simple as you want it to be. Sure, e-latex, e-odt, ... try to be as
comprehensive as possible with regards to Org syntax, but it doesn't
mean that every back-end has to handle every syntactic element.
One can imagine specialized back-ends only rendering a limited set of
Org features. As long as the set is explicitly documented in the
back-end, there's nothing wrong with that.
Note that I do not comment the comparison with Muse mode rendering
framework, which I do not know.
Regards,
