We may be misunderstanding each other. 

I'm suggesting to remove zero-width spaces contiguous to emphasis
markers only. Therefore LaTeX process would npot see them. Other zero
width spaces, e.g., inserted by user, are kept. AFAICT, the two last
points you mention are not relevant with my proposal.

Besides, they already part of the syntax, in some way. So that ship has
sailed long ago.
