Well, you write the arguments before starting the source block, getting
everything wardbacks (and I don't think that's easier to parse, but you
would know better(*)).  Then there is the verbosity of the headers
themselves, but that's an argument based on aesthetics.  Last but not
least I can never remember if any of the "#+" stuff is supposed to end
with a ":" and whether it wants another ":" in front of the arguments or
not.

(*) Reminds me I'll have to try what happens if I write header arguments
that are detached from the source block.  Devious, I know, but the
manual does not really specify anything.

If you look carefully, that source block above does not contain a
drawer.  It has a (hypothetical) associated multiline header argument
that happens to look and feel like a drawer.

Is there any specification that they must fully contain them?

Anyway, that was just an idea and if nobody likes it, that's fine with
me, too.
