Comment 12 for bug 1052399

Well, I also don't know hot it works, so my opinion may not be valid :-(

If tags are mandatory, of course we should check and fix them, but it they aren't, we might be missing some funcionality. But, apart from that question (in the worst case, all the documentation page will look like plain text, without any markup) I see another problem here... how do we explain it to translators? I mean... I always teach translator to keep an eye on tags when translating, because if they don't do it may be problems when compiling, etc... If they realize that some tags are not mandatory, they won't include those tags in the translated string an so.

Since we are not mallard-gurus and both have no idea how it works under the hood, maybe Shaun could give us some light about it.
