The difficulty is that, if you're already in the inset, you might be

Some thoughts: Say I have a charstyle <foo>hello world</foo>.

be a nested construct "<foo><bar>hello</bar> world</foo>".
I'm not sure it matters, but you make the assumption that it would be a
nested construct, is that necessearily true? Do we have to impose a
nesting structure on the character styles, or could each of them be
operating along an independent dimension? Couldn't two character styles
start and/or end at the exact same position?
You start with:
bla bla bla hello world bla bla
Then apply <foo>, and we have:
bla bla bla hello world bla bla
|--<foo>--|
Then we apply <bar> and we have:
bla bla bla hello world bla bla
|---foo---|
|bar|
I don't see why |foo| and |bar| should affect each other?
Aren't character styles in general independent of each other?
