overlapping markup

Hello all,

looking at XStandoff and xLMNL examples in the XML Prague 2012 paper "Quo
vadis XML", I'm a bit confused by theirs complexity. See the pages 150,
151 and 155.

If I needed a parallel markup, instead of using these formats, I'd try
something simple, such as:

<dialog_plus_text>
{u who="peter"}<s>Hey Paul!</s> <s>Would you give me{/u}
{u who="Paul"}the hammer?</s>{/u}
</dialog_plus_text>

So, each content model gets its own sort of brackets. What wrong with it,
why such format is not used?
