I disagree that it's too complicated (at least not from the TypoScript 
perspective). But you don't have to use it if you don't like it. Like I 
said it would be backwards compatible, so you can still do it the way 
it's done now.

I do use comments now, but it still gets confusing when using conditions 
and/or TypoScript templates on different branches in the page tree.

The only real problem I see with this is that sorting it in PHP would 
get a bit more complicated and it might affect performance (this should 
be tested).
