Currently these particular examples aren't the syntax supported by the PEP. 
  It's an alternative/possibly syntax only if there is enough support for a 
serial left to right specification pattern as outlined.

What the pep supports is a single value that is passed to the __format__ 
function.  So the pep syntax combines alignment and other options into one 
term that the __format__ methods must decode all at once.

I think most of developers here are still looking at various details and 
are still undecided.  Do you have a preference for one or the other yet?

Cheers,
