I still think that the syntax for these is unnecessarily clumsy.

Would introducing a different syntax for multiline "keyword" elements
be a possibility?  Like:

:+TBLFM:
 ; There be dragons!
:END:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs_lisp
:+HEADERS:
  :var data1=1
  :var data2=2
:END:
  (message "data1:%S, data2:%S" data1 data2)
#END_SRC

It should look & feel like a drawer for the user, IMHO.

Achim.
