I found an interesting markup called LMNL, which supports overlapping markup:

http://lmnl.net/

Also, a survey which compares various markup languages, including LMNL:

http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~sjm217/projects/markup/survey/

I'm mainly mentioning this because of your past mail where you asked
for existing formats that could meet your needs.

For now your current markup should be fine. But you should research
LMNL too. You can information here also:

Another, related markup is Creole:
