Ok. It has some advantages, but I agree that the return is fairly low.

You mean precisely in section titles and figure captions? In section
titles it is easy, but in figure captions it is harder, as captions are
set up as accepting anything. And for warning to appear in shortcaption,
a warning should also appear in
'titlefont', 'anchor', 'xref','ref','pxref',
'inforef', 'shortcaption', 'math', 'indicateurl',
'email', 'uref', 'url', 'image', 'abbr', 'acronym',
'dmn', 'ctrl', 'errormsg'
Maybe this calls for another design of the code determining what is
accepted where that allows for more fine tuning. I have an idea on the
design that would be better than teh current design, allow to easily
make specific change for a given command, and maybe will be easier
to customize.
