I don't think that distributing ( and ) between standalone event and
post-event respectively is a concept that will carry the day
sufficiently to be given a chance at a comeback. It would make
(c (d) e)
visually confusing. While neither the current
c( d)( e)
nor the standalone event version
(c )(d )e
will win a price for prettiness, they both beat (c (d) e) in conveying
meaning rather than looking pleasing.
