Upon @jgm’s [remark](http://talk.commonmark.org/t/what-could-a-spoiler-tag-extension-look-like/767/31), which echoes concerns that have been voiced before, and after reading through [these pandoc div syntax proposals](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/pandoc-discuss/_e_g7O_cEEo/d8LK0DGnOJYJ), I’ve tried to simplify the syntax even more and updated [the first post](http://talk.commonmark.org/t/generic-directives-plugins-syntax/444) yet again. So now the `(arg)` is gone and wrapped into the attributes.
