Okay, in SuperRedCloth:

  space dash words+ dash space

Strict just like that!!

You can can have spaces and some punctuation between words, but the
dashes must be up against the first and last words of the phrase.

It still smells, though.  What if you have to strike-out something
with dashes in it??  I guess it's back to <del>..</del>.

There should be a syntax for grouping text.

  I died in -(two thousand six -- yes i did -- fell off a cliff)-
  -- no, wait, I died in 2005 while jogging...

Who knows.
