>only org-mode can parse Org -- and Org is always changing.

you're so right! I was pondering to migrate the regexes from org.el and org-exp.el when I noticed that emphasizes are allowed to spread 2 lines (actually the number of lines is customizable in "Org Emphasis Regexp Components")

/abc def/

This wasn't clear for me since the fontlock in emacs doesn't always get it right.

But it's exported to

<i>abc def</i>

So a clean parser would at least need to read the customizations from emacs!
