I'll try to do a more thorough review later, but this one stuck out:

Why? Can this not be done using the copy/paste function in your
editor? Or did I misunderstand the purpose of this syntax?

Every single piece of syntax you add is another piece of syntax that
*every* generator must support. In particular, this one looks like a
real pain to add to the Wireshark dissector (now on trunk -
http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc/trunk/tools/process-x11-xcb.pl?view=markup&pathrev=29871
).
