No, not zero-width space. Literally, {{...}}. The idea is to define
delimiters as "[{]+" the matching number of "}". This way, we do not
need to worry about escaping "}" inside and can get nested markup for
free. It is more or less how Org parser works for special block:
the opening delimiter is #+begin_whatever is matched against
#+end_<same as opening delimiter>.

Also, see https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87mtaez8do.fsf@localhost/
with my original proposal and some discussion that followed up.

I am pretty sure that I replied to that concern raised in a parallel
thread. My idea was to allow macro replacement inside attributes:

#+macro: alt #+attr_html :alt $1
What about @wrap[<<<alt(Text)>>>]{[[/path/to/image]]}

Or even inline definition like

#+@macro: alt @wrap[@+attr_html :alt $1]
What about @alt[Text]{[[/path/to/image]]}
