I have not read the emacs-devel thread, so I may ask about something 
that already has been discussed.

Are there cases when texinfo may use nested formatting commands of the 
same type, something like @samp{a @code{b @samp{c} d} e}? My concern is 
that current org-element parser may be a blocker.

Another point is that most of the mentioned commands a close to 
verbatim, but Org has much more special characters recognized as markup 
and no markup is allowed inside Org verbatim snippets. Escaping (by zero 
width spaces?) of code and samples may be prohibitively inconvenient in 
Org if markup should be recognized inside.

One more point is external tools like pandoc export from Org to other 
formats. When Org extensions are implemented in elisp, such tools become 
hardly usable. Unsure if some kind of declarative style sheets will be 
enough.
