In practice, down to max number of markup elements. Potentially, infinitely, if we add inline special blocks. > An idea to solve this that picks up on the new "topmost behavior": use > two overlays.

Changing faces is probably the most appropriate indicator in such scenario. Also, revealing hidden markup symbols.

One idea is inheriting from secondary-selection. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode maintainer, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
