I kinda disagree with your reasoning but I agree with your conclusion. I think it would be strange for third party or user configuration to parse the value of a noweb header argument directly. Org provides a lublic api for this which should be backwards compatible: (org-babel-noweb-p (nth 2 (org-babel-get-src-block-info t)) :tangle) However, other parsers besides Emacs exist for Org mode and they may directly compare the entire noweb argument. The middle way is to create just one new header arg: :noweb-wrap <start> [end]
