I have absolutely no clear way to represent sequences like in this example that use such elongated diacritic applied to runs of more than two characters.
Nor should you expect to be able to represent such things in plain text. Such conventions are not appropriate to plain text. As usual, your regular alternatives
are: 1. represent the content with structured markup, or 2. represent the presentation with pdf (or similar) Expecting out-of-the box rendering engines to link the two automatically is unreasonable, IMO.
Of course I can still use two half marks in the plain-text (only on the first and last letter), but what does happen if I cannot (and in fact don't) mark their joining above intermediate letters ?
You'll get *both* bad representation of the content and bad presentation of the appearance. Such a deal! --Ken
