The argument against using pre-command-hook and post-command-hook is 
efficiency - the above seems a lot less efficient (I suppose you have
to run all such lisp functions until you find one which returns
true) - which also means that the sequence of key bindings in 
the keymaps start to matter...

IMO, this interface is even worse that using the current hooks!
