This thread is possible relevant to the ongoing emacs-devel discussion
where RMS requested support/integration of Org and texinfo.

He mentioned an important point that could make the idea of inline
special blocks more appealing.

While arbitrary markup can indeed be introduced using our current link
syntax, there is one important limitation of links:

 *** link description cannot contain other links ***

If one seriously tries to extend Org syntax with custom markup elements,
nested markup will not be possible. And we do not want to change Org
links to allow other links inside.

Inline special blocks may not have such limitation if we allow special
blocks to be nested.

Best,
Ihor
