I think I like the style suggested by Mirsad Todorovac [1]. Even though 
I'm very familiar with SGML/XML style markup I find this

	zo<HYPH AFT="e">ë</HYPH><HYPH></HYPH>ven

much harder to understand than this

	<HYPH points="zo-even,zoë-ven">zoëven</HYPH>

I would prefer <HYPH choices="..."> instead for the latter case.
