FWIW I think is the idea is very interesting. This is more verbose, but
it could allow us to get rid of the terrible
`org-emphasis-regexp-components' variable.

Unfortunately, this would introduce incompatibilities in old documents,
unless that is, we keep checking `org-emphasis-regexp-components', but
then, the change would become, IMO, much less desirable.

In a nutshell, I don't think this will go past the active
"backward-compatibility" squad on the ML. What we're really after is
a way to

  - keep single character markup ;
  - get rid of `org-emphasis-regexp-components' ;
  - allow midword markup.

Good luck.
