It should even be possible to transform all "parenthetical" role nodes to block elements (paragraphs with class value "parenthetical", say) in a transform. +1 less verbose markup (no need for blank lines) -1 the role can be used at places where no block level markup is allowed -- requires test and error mechanism that comes "for free" if you use a directive.
