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 "totally useless" stretching it.

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,
