@@ -1978,6 +1978,23 @@ I'm not averse to the idea of nested inline markup in general. I just
don't have the time or inclination to write a new parser now. Of
course, a good patch would be welcome!
+I envisage something like this. Explicit-role interpreted text must
+be nestable. Prefix-based is probably preferred, since suffix-based
+will look like inline literals::
+
+ ``text`:role1:`:role2:
+
+But it can be disambiguated, so it ought to be left up to the author::
+
+ `\ `text`:role1:`:role2:
+
+In addition, other forms of inline markup may be nested if
+unambiguous::
+
+ *emphasized ``literal`` and |substitution ref| and link_*
+
+IOW, the parser ought to be as permissive as possible.
