Using po4a to process XHTML documents, I have to turn of wrapping for a specific XHTML tag (<script>) still considering the containing text as translatable. Po4a's Xml module provides a way to specify this using the `W' character in the `tags' option: -o "tags=W<script>" Unfortunately this leads to skipping the containing text of <script> as non-translatable. I can avoid this by adding `tagsonly' option, but this way I practically have to list all possible XHTML tags in `tags', just to turn off wrapping for one of them. It would be much easier if there was a way to specify this wrap-flag individually for a tag, without having to deal with global skipping/non-skipping of all mentioned tags.

I agree that the current options are not intuitive and probably do not permit what users want. I will try to provide another set of options to configure the Xml module (and derivative). The idea could be to support options like: -o translated="<tag1> w<tag2> W<tag3> <tag4><tag5> i<tag6> I<tag7>" -o verbatim="<tag8> <tag9><tag10>" (And remove any tag from tags or inline lists if it is specified by one of these options)
