No. Please no! We'll end up with XML before long :-(
Semantically, the use of @@ is for actions that are export target
specific whereas italic etc. are text markup and inherently export
target neutral (generally). Very different beasts...
One major attraction of org, for me, is the minimal clutter introduced
by the language so that it doesn't get in the way of the writing.
