You missed the point of the whole spec: the spec was that every party which interfaces with boot loaders knows where to find and how to deal with boot loader entries, and to make them as simple that every party can easily parse them and make sense of them, and share them. This means that many parties can *read* them without trouble and *drop-in* them without trouble either. By turning them into a programming language you broke that contract, because suddenly your files cannot be read without any embedded tremplating language interpretor. You own your files, but everyone else cannot make sense of it. Note that the spec has extension points (i.e. it's permissible to add new fields without this breaking the spec), but turning it into a programming lnaguage is waaaay outside of it...
