Remarks

A line such as Alice: Hello, "playerName". cannot be spoken until the world says what playerName is worth, and two questions follow. Which keys must be asked about, and what does the line say once they are answered? Both are answered here by one walk over the same fragments, so a key that gets asked about is a hole that gets filled, and the reverse.

A hole is found wherever it sits. A query inside emphasis, a link's label, or an image's alt text is as much a hole as one in plain prose, and filling it leaves the emphasis, the link, and the image exactly where the writer put them.
