Re: [proof of concept] inline language blocks

Juan Manuel,

I am not against optional arguments. The idea is to make the feature 
more flexible and convenient for domain-specific documents. I did not 
use square brackets in my example to concentrate on the use case of 
concise and clear markup.

Do not concentrate on \foreignlanguage. I am using it just because the 
thread was started from markup suitable for mixed-language texts.

I do not try to dispute \foo and class="foo" as default behavior. I 
suggest to implement possibility to override default behavior of
&foo{text} to \bar{text} and <bar>text</bar>. The same is applicable for 
anonymous objects

HTML has a number of elements for semantic markup, e.g. <kbd>, <var>, 
<abbr>, etc. I hope, they can be supported in addition to default <span>.
