Hello Oleg, as the developer of XStandoff I'll try to answer your question. Standoff annotation was a feasible option for annotating multiple or overlapping markup, when XStandoff and its ancestor SGF was developed as part of a project. In addition, we wanted to use an XML-based solution, that is, without any extra brackets (the solution you proposed reminds me of XConcur btw.). There are of course other ways to describe parallel or overlapping markup, such as pure LMNL's sawtooth syntax, or others (you may want to have a look at the Balisage 2008 and 2009 papers for a list of techniques). In my opinion, a key benefit of an XML-based solution is the possibility to use all the XML-tools such as XML validators, XSLT, and XQuery (and in fact, that was our main concern to choose the way we did). Let me know, if you have further questions.
