IMO syntax should be kept as simple as possible.

Complex multi-level ACL with curly braces should be avoided if you can 
achieve the same effect clearer and easier with simple syntax as above.

1) it's easier for automation (i have scripts rebuilding greylist rules 
for several thousand users on our ISP). current ACLs can be built with 
simple shell script. with multilevel ACL this becomes much more 
cumbersome.
2) it's easier for users to write, and to read.
3) it's easier to parse -> less bugs
