Hi Mark,

several environments already to accept parameters, and in all cases it  
is
done by just listing the arguments after the begin statement,  
separated by spaces.

So what you could implement is that if a user writes

#+begin_xxx {aa}[bb]{cc}

that org-special-blocks will then create

\begin{xxx}{aa}[bb]{cc}

I think we must ask for the space, to make sure that all old code will  
work.
A patch to org-special-blocks for this goal would be very useful, I  
think.
