I hope we had a small misunderstanding here. David's earlier message was
precisely to clear that up.

What I want to remove are only in-text tags (like <filename>, <emphasis>,
etc). In-context markers (like @action:button, @option:check, etc) would
certainly remain. There is no technical reason to remove them, and they are
used much more than tags. E.g. in kdepim and kdepimlibs, 16.7% of all
messages have context markers, whereas 1.7% have text tags (6.4%/0.6% for
whole of "trunk"). In fact, context markers can be used as-is in any i18n
system with Gettext-like lookup key semantics.

Is it sufficiently less bad now, or should I address your other points? :)
