It should be. 

We don't need another syntax for something that does almost the same
thing as an inlinetask but, yet, isn't one. Inline todo/inlinetasks,
there can only be one.

I think you are missing my point. 

My goal is to be able to /mark/ a very specific part of the document
(ranging from a word to a whole section). Your syntax cannot achieve
that, because you need two markers, one at the beginning and one at the
end of the area you need to mark. This is a dead-end.

Also, I don't want to clutter the document with annotations, hence
moving them to a specific section, while retaining a minimal syntax in
the document.

No matter how much you like it, your syntax isn't general enough for
annotations. This is understandable, since you're after inline TODO, not
annotations.

Regards,
