The positioning is different, though. C# puts the bracketed list of "attributes" at the beginning of the declarations, so if we were really following C#'s lead, the syntax would actually be:

class [interface] Foo: def [classmethod] foo(cls): ...

After rewriting a bunch of my existing code to use the various proposed syntaxes in PEP 318, this is the one I ended up preferring.

But again, I think all the issues, opinions, etc. are covered in the PEP, so it doesn't make much sense to continue to debate the issue. Hopefully Guido will pronounce on it soon.
