Honestly, I can't see a situation where you really need an eascape character. The {{{{{{unformatted}}}}}} text is enough, and if you need the monospaced text to be meaningful, use {{{##monospaced##}}} or {{{##{{{unformatted monospaced}}}}}}{{{##}}} and you're set. Sure, they are a little lenghty. But they **are** exceptions, so they should stick out from the text.

It's not even the implementer's decision, I'd say -- it's the decision of the designer who creates the layout for the particular site.

==== distinctions
Like [[Raph Levien]] does, I would appreciate to see clearly distinguished the notions of
* unformatted = raw text segment = no styling
* monospace = typeset style
(also code = source-editor-like highlighting)
//**note** : a proper (and positive) word for "unformatted" may be "litteral"//
As the three of them may be useful on segments (=span) as well as on blocks or even block sequences, I take here the opportunity to advocate for a rule that may make creole more consistent, thus easier :
//Segment styling delimiter tags (double characters at both ends) can all be used as block styling tags (simple character at line start only).//
Which leads e.g. to:
| **format** | **use / semantic** | **standard rendering / display** |
| {{{/ distinct block}}} | example, remark, advice, block-quote | italic (+ indented)|
| {{{* important block}}} | important notice | bold (+ indented)|
| {{{X litteral block}}} | e.g. formatting explanation | unformatted |
| {{{Y monospace block}}} | text graphics, ascii art... | monospace |
| {{{Z code block}}} | source code | highlighted |
etc...
In addition , this lets the possibility to combine block styling easily and in an evident manner, or even block layout and styling. For instance :
| {{{XY litteral & monospace block}}} |
| {{{#X litteral numbered list item}}} |
I find this really user-friendly. The only condition, which imo would rather be a major improvement, is that text-styling does not conflict with block-layout. (As presently for bold and bullet lists, also number lists and monospace according to Radomir's proposal above.)
What about that for creole 2.0 ?
