Nested spans can already be accomplished with HTML; the purpose of the @@ syntax is to provide a simpler, more concise alternative for the common situations where nesting isn't required. Clearly, to support nesting we'd need a syntax where it was possible to distinguish the opening of a span from the closing; that would take us back to the same level of complexity as HTML itself.
