I don't understand. Why do you think the syntax should be changed? If the substring "~RC(a>b)" ever reaches Pango, it means it will be displayed to the user. I can't even think of a situation where this is not a severe bug. Or were you saying that an automatic transition is hard because the translator (e.g., wmllint) has to guess that "~RC(a>b)" shouldn't be converted to "~RC(a>b)"? Back on the topic at hand, as mentioned on IRC, I'm wholeheartedly in favor of switching to Pango markup; and in my opinion, we shouldn't have a transition period. No need to try to support both the old markup format and the new one. Let's kill the old code as soon as possible; this will make the formatting code both simpler and much more powerful.
