We will face challenge for sure but Cursor movement is already
working well for entering and leaving insets. We will have to decide

should select the full insets. Right now, the implementation offers
no other choice in any case.
I think this would be very unintuitive behavior in the case of
character styles.
I do not think so. I have yet to see of a good example where
overlapping extents are useful (do you have a better example than the
TEI one?). We should not design the UI around a weird case.
How about this:
I mark a couple of paragraphs and turn on "emph" to get them
emphasized. They are then in a charstyle inset.
Next, I figure that I need to copy (or move) stuff around.
I need one of the emphasized paragraphs and one other.
So that is what I try to mark and copy/move.
But LyX won't let me mark "half an inset plus some more text".
This behaviour makes sense for minipages and footnotes,
but not necessarily for emphasizing. Copying, moving or deleting
part of an emphasized region is not such a strange thing to do.
Especially deleting.
There is also the nasty surprise if I start selection inside
the emph region and scroll so I never see that the rest gets
selected once the cursor goes outside. This happens
with minipages too of course, but deleting half a minipage plus
some more is more unusual.
