On this, on the other (big) wip-cite thread, Nicolas said the following:

"A drawback with allowing emphasis there is that prefix and suffix become
parsed data and not plain string anymore. As a consequence, searching
through them, e.g., when looking for locator names, requires an
additional level of indirection, since you need to first transform
parsed data back into plain text."

Nicolas: I get that you need more code to do this, but are there other
practical consequences of allowing more than plain-text?
