This is a bit unfortunate, because I like to use macros for inserting
semantic formatting which is not part of org’s syntax. In the example
given in my OP, I use it to mark up names with small caps. The exact
example given includes a short note by me talking about the cited author
a little further. Another example where I need this is when I cite some
statement made in an interview, which may come out as something like:

    [cite:{{{name(Interviewee)}}} in @interviewer p. 5]

Indirect statements by persons mentioned in news articles are another
example where I would use such a construct.

I define the `name' macro in such a way that it will format
`Interviewee` in the same way as the citation style formats the author
name for @interviewer, ensuring uniformness in the created footnote.

I also use the very same `name' macro inside the actual article text, so
that uniform formatting is guaranteed there as well.

I have no strong opinion on this. I certainly do not need tables inside
citations. If it is easy to just permit everything except what you
named, I would say just allow it. Maybe someone has use for it. Maybe
footnotes inside [cite:] construct should also not be allowed, at least
for footnote-based styles.
