I think this is a feature.  It's been discussed a couple of times on
the list and I think Carsten argued that it should be possible to make
custom formats in the buffer; with export there'd be various ways such
as the infamous [[latex:type][link]].

(Links can export whatever however, although it is not a very
ecstatically pleasing solution).

I guess that's the compromise (mentioned above).  You can use the
emphasis-alist for something crazy if you so desire.  But I guess the
org syntax as defined by org-element is 'fixed'.  And that's probably
also OK.
