Thanks for the patch. Here are a few comments.

We might be able to handle it more nicely, i.e. by skipping \text when
contents are empty.

A nil :post-blank property means 0, not 1. Also, you don't re-use PREV
in NO-PRE-BLANKS-P.

I think this is problematic: if an entity needs to export both the
previous and the next object, what happens when we have two consecutive
entities? An infloop?

This is the difficult part of the problem.

Sure, but I'd rather make a stricter check and also test PREV's type.
