It's not just a drawback but a more fundamental problem: This solution
abolishes the semantics of a fundamental entity, the link. color:red
/means/ something completely different than info:elisp.
I'll need some time to read the proposal about this topic but my
out-of-the-guts impression is, that the distinction between semantics
and markup (or visualization) is not drawn as sharp as it is. For Org
it's all about semantics: If we know what a special sequence of
characters means, we can provide appropriate actions. One possible
action is to provide special colors etc. as a visual aid.
So maybe don't focus on how to /implement/ visualization but on the
general purpose or meaning of what is /visualized/ (!) by distinct
colors.
