Using a single separator to sometimes break up paragraphs into smaller
units and sometimes merge them into larger ones is going to get ugly
quickly... I recommend thinking of an approach that will ensure that
commentable sections do not break the boundaries of HTML tags. I.e.,
if a section includes the start tag for an HTML block, it should
include the end tag as well. It also sounds like you want to have
commentable section overlap. So, a single character separator won't
work. You will at least need a pair of characters - one to open a
commentable section and one to close.

Anyway, if I were you, I would focus on identifying and re-using
existing document structure. E.g., allowing people to attach comments
to sections/headings, paragraphs, list items, sentences, quotations,
etc. If this isn't enough, then you can think of two separate markups
- one for identifying sub-paragraph sections, and another one for
grouping paragraphs.
