I think requirement 10 (“robust use cases”) gives us the freedom to work out what to make easy, what to allow, and what not to attempt to support.

With respect to pragmas intended for one implementation or another, I don’t think a user necessarily needs to have compound annotations. Requirement 7 assures that I’ll be able to recognize the pragma. I don’t think processor A is forbidden from supporting a processor B pragma, assuming they can assure that they comply with the foundational requirements.
