Note that everything between start-stop lines is normal tex code.
you mean start/stoplines need style and color keys.
That would not be bad :) but it is not what I meant. I meant that it is 
the author's (or in the case the convertor's) responsibility to make sure 
that everything inside is valid tex code. So something like
I know but setup keys are the best way to change the layout of
environemnts and keep the document clean. Using a converter is no
answer why you should't you this mechanism and write the styyle change
in the document and not in preamble.

\startlines
\undefinedmacro blah blah
\stoplines

As Dexter? already mentioned, he writes the escaped commands in the
document \undefinedmacro will end up as \tex{undefinedmacro} or
\type{\undefinedmacro} in the output file.
