I agree with you that double-dot does not signal "some things are
ellided here" to a usual reader.

I actually think consistent use of %(align:...) is needed, simply
because my knee-jerk reaction to "%(align:)" was "huh?  where does
the need for the trailing colon come from?", not "ah, you try to
imply that there must be something more by having just a colon
there".
