My vote is to simply maintain the status quo. Don't modify the syntax, don't make the zero space character somewhat special or processed in any special way during export. In short, accept that inner word markup has only limited support and if that is a requirement which is critical to your use case, accept that org mode may not be the right solution for your requirements.
Tim, you are skeptical concerning usage of Org markup outside of Emacs. Though some subscribers of this list support such idea with hope for collaboration with colleagues and for other reasons. Status quo in respect to similar questions increases risk that other tools will adapt different workarounds and incompatible dialects will appear.
From the point of view of popularizing Org it is better to make some decision: either zero-width space should become a part of syntax or some other printable marker should be chosen to suppress effect of Org markup or vice versa to activate some construct.
