Yeah I've seen that, I've never really been a fan of the first  
because of all the scopes it adds, seems to add so much clutter.  
Would be better as either and editor feature or a an injected rule  
(but that wouldn't always work if some other rules needed the leading  
spaces)

The second is more interesting to me, but seems to have the same  
issue. Not saying they can't be useful, just that while I like  
verbose scoping adding so many purely for styling reasons seems the  
wrong approach.

That's in the proposal for template languages using meta.tag.template. 
(block|line|expression), but not for the languages like PHP/erb.  
Shouldn't be hard to add though, definitely be a good addition.
