Aaron,

I like the flexibility that macros would allow.

Some care needs to be taken with commas, but not a big deal.

I don't think the usual #+MACRO works here, as the definition would be 
found in `org-macro-templates' by the first call and existing stuff would 
be expanded instead of being left for babel to remove it. But setting it 
up as a document keyword should work, right?

Don't know if there are other gotchas.

Maybe a limited collection of formats could be set up to support basic 
markup options and the macro could choose amongst them with a second arg 
set by a babel header arg.

I am not quite sure how to marry this to header args. Maybe the :wrap 
header arg should be hijacked for inline src blocks to specify a macro for 
the results.

I mean, does anyone actually use stuff like src_R[:wrap latex]{1+2}? The 
current result cannot be parsed as an export block, AFAICS.

Chuck
