Comment:

 While I am normally not the one to disagree with a feature request this
 does strike me as violating a lot of the assumptions of attributes in
 HTML/XHTML after which shortcodes are at least partially modeled. I fear
 potential unintended consequences (read: "hard to squash bugs") if this
 were enabled.

 Can you give some example use cases where this would really be important?
 You've described in abstract but I don't see examples that demonstrate a
 need that can only be accomplished using your proposal.
