Hmm ... good point.

Well, in that case, there's not really a need for a new element, is 
there? Just use a span for the "AAA" content?

<text:p>XXX</text:p>
   <text:meta-field>
     <text:span>AAA</text:span>
     <text:p>BBB</text:p>
     <text:p>CCC</text:p>
     <text:span>DDD</text:span>
   </text:meta-field>
<text:p>ZZZ</text:p>

At the metadata SC, we've planned to add a prefix and suffix property, 
but that would be encoded in the RDF attached to the field.
