That would defeat the purpose of the distinction between a block and an
affiliated keyword (i.e., a property added to that block). Besides the
change of paradigm, it would introduce a lot of problems (handle syntax
limitation in such block, for example, since I assume plain lists would
be forbidden).

Also, current syntax also handles short captions, so you would have to
rely on another trick for them.

I'm sure this idea wouldn't be a net benefit for Org syntax clarity,
even for the occasional three lines caption need.
