Notice that I don't care much about i18n at all (so i don't intend nor could argue), just curious:

From what i understood the issue is that intltool needs a _prefixed tag to separate translatable from untranslatable elements.
Would not <p lang="x"> (assuming x to be some invalid lang ID - i do not care about i18n...) be sufficient in that regard?
Is intltool really incapable of selecting a specialized lang as translation source?
