Okay, I believe I have come up with a modified version that accepts many more programs and doesn't require complicated comma handling, you can make all decisions based on the top of the context stack. It also allows many useful layouts that were illegal under the old system.
From your description, the rule still sounds quite complex. It depends whether the objective is a rule that is close enough to the current rule that we can switch with very little code breaking, or a rule that is simple to explain to newcomers to the language (but which will require much more code tweaking when updating packages to compile with the new standard).
