This last disadvantage could be mitigated if we provide two syntaxes for for pseudo-element tagging. An SGML-editor friendly one like this: <P><C>abcdefgh</C><EM><C>ijklmnopq</C></EM></P> and a a typist-friendly alias like this: <P>"abcdefgh"<EM>"ijklmnopq"</EM></P> As long as XML consumers are either XML or SGML compatible, they should have no problem with either syntax.
