Interesting idea, and takes the best from what is about (ConTeXt, in
this case) and learns from it.  It seems pretty much a given that
LaTeX2e documents won't work "out of the box" with LaTeX3, so it is
certainly worth thinking about this type of change.

Thinking where this takes us, something like:

\latexstart

\loadclass{article}

\loadmodule{whatever-module}

\documentstart

Some text

\itemizestart
  \item An item
  \item Another one
\itemizeend

\documentend

\latexend

perhaps?  Rather more ConTeXt-like than I'm used to, but also quite clear.
