Such as bold and italic or > verbatim and underline, etc.? org-element-context does return nested emphasis, so it is certainly possible to combine composite styles (at least, during export). Fontification code does not work with elements though and I do not see an easy way to change it. Rewriting fontification using org-element API would eliminate this type of issues. However, I am not sure about performance (maybe with org-element-cache?). Best, Ihor
