So we shall have declarations below usage, and scoping based on headers?

In the proposal above there would be no need for the document to contain any headers. It’s more flexible that way.

Also what do you think of using :~ instead for a cleaner look?

I prefer the Markdown Extra syntax. An asterisk looks like a reference to something, and the square brackets + colon make it look similar to other types of Markdown definitions. Also, Markdown Extra is already quite well established syntax.
