It seems that @@:...@@ should behave significantly different from 
regular export snippet since org markup should be parsed inside.

It could be used for one more purpose. I miss "fallback" option for 
export snippets. E.g. if explicit raw markup is specified for HTML and 
LaTeX, it would be nice to have something for other backends such as 
ascii or odt. In the series of adjacent export snippets @@:...@@ may be 
taken when backends in earlier snippets are not matched:

    @@html:HTML 1@@@@latex:LaTeX 1@@@@:ascii and odt 1@@@@html: HTML 
2@@@@:LaTeX, ascii, and odt 2@@.

At first I complained that it would be impossible to put export snippets 
in "parse separately" construct with @@:...@@ syntax. Likely it is not 
necessary. It is a bit verbose, but "parse separately" may be split:
   @@:part 1@@@@html:html-only@@@@:@@@@:part 2@@
Empty @@:@@ is added to avoid considering @@:part 2@@ as a fallback for 
"html-only".
