Interesting idea. But I'm not sure that it works. I think most people
think of the style as occuring before the text rather than after. And
if we go towards content-based markup (as opposed to rendering-based markup)
then it might make more sense to have the style before the text rather than
afterwards.
I.e., I think that
%bookreference% The Mythical Man Month %%
makes a bit more sense than
{{The Mythical Man Month %bookreference}}
But I'd like to keep the style-after-text in mind while we're still struggling
to come up with something. As for me, I haven't had any great revelations
on this front over the weekend. :-(
