Yes I agree. Apologies for mixing up this topic in the discussion about
intra-word emphasis...

Ihor's idea seems interesting to me, although I understand the possible
problems you mention. By the way, I'm afraid of initial inverted
punctuation (¡¿) are only used in Castilian Spanish and other languages
of Spain, such as Galician or Asturian, due to the Castilian influence
(we go backwards from the rest of the world ;-):

I see. I believe it's a sensible decision to get rid of the dependency
on org-emphasis-regexp-components. I understand that now everything
related to the structure of emphases is the competence of org-element?
