I agree with Carsten on the last point about visual clutter. That said, if the OP rarely uses one of the standard mark-ups, say +strikethrough+, then an export filter overriding the default would do just fine. For an example, see here: <http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/beamer/ox-beamer.html#export-filters> Hope this helps, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
