A few thoughts:

1.  Having to use separate BEGIN and END macros is less convenient than 
more Lispy constructs, like a macro call with a string argument.  But I 
guess, to wrap Org elements, like a TODO heading or inline task, it 
would be necessary.  A macro call with the text as an argument wouldn't 
be a task in Org syntax, which would make it less useful outside of 
rendered HTML.

2.  Those macros, or one much like them, could be useful for the use 
case of centering text to stand out, as discussed in the other thread.

3.  For cases that don't potentially involve wrapping Org elements, 
having a simple macro with the text as its argument might be preferable 
to having separate BEGIN and END macros.  I wonder if we could have 
non-begin-end equivalents of the begin-and-end macros listed there.
