I disagree. We made more compact directives to amke things easier. At the 
beginning we had directives that did only ones thing, but writing mnay 
directives became soon cumbersome, so we put several together. I think this 
was a **major** improvement (see the browser:pages and browser:page directive 
as example). If directives are documented well, I do not mind them having 
many options.
