I see your point, I just personally prefer the shorter syntax, and if 
you are familiar with the syntax, I think it's quicker to read

proxy_cache_path  /data/nginx/cache  1:2  ONE  10m  1h  1g;

How about offering both?  You could have a syntax that included the 
key/value pairs and one that had the shorter syntax with a specific 
ordering.  That would mean that admins could choose the version they prefer.

Just an idea.

Thanks,

Marcus.
