How about using a special plugin custom-written for the specific use case, giving you a way to achieve desired markup easily:
{{{
<<chem c2h5oh>>
}}}
the plugin would know how to format the text -- simply from the context, and would output
{{{
<span class="chem">C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>5</sub>OH</span>
}}}
or maybe even with colors to highlight important details.
Note how the raw source is still readable. The text is also easily readable on wikis that don't have this plugin installed -- just not as nice.
I think this is the way to go when a wiki community has some special needs -- making the wiki markup universal also makes it complicated and unreadable. It is so simple just because it is small.
Then again, there is nothing wrong with extending Creole -- it was meant to be just a small common subset of most important things, to ease transition between wikis -- not a complete wiki markup with all bells and whistles that any wiki engine can have.
