One nice thing about the left-margin convention is that stray parens in column zero have localized effect only. When I have to rely on the correctness of the entire syntax of my buffer in order to get reasonable syntax-highlighting editing will get tedious: Suppose I deliberately introduced some mis-balanced paren near the top of the buffer and to fix that case I want to patch some code from the end of the buffer. I would feel penalized.
