Sorry, I overlooked that. So both under the status quo and under the
proposed change, emphasis is possible. Mixed emphasis/non-emphasis
within the target (e.g. <<<creation /ex nihilo/>>>) is not supported in
either case, so the change would not further limit use of emphasis.

It would be nice to keep support for subscripts and superscripts,
though. One might want to use, say, "CO_2" in a radio target.

But this is not a pressing concern on my part, since I don't rely on
radio targets for anything very important anyway.

Yours,
