If the suggestion is that the lexer is going to identify '**' as a "strong emphasis marker" and '*' as an "emphasis marker," prior to any parsing, I don't see how that's possible. Consider***bold** in italics* ***italics* in bold** There's no way of knowing whether the initial two *'s should start strong emphasis unless you scan forward.
I really don't see why it can't recognize *** as a unique token, and figure out how to do the right thing by just adding a few more rules. This doesn't seem like an insoluble problem to me.
