1) Almost all messages can use &entities; without causing trouble.
   It is convenient for coders and translators, and they could almost always
   easily and safely be converted to their UTF-8 equivalents during
   automated message processing, and even be rewritten into message source
files.
   Only &nbsp; should be kept so as to be visible for those working with
   the messages.

2) Some HTML elements need to be supported for i18n in all messages that
   are rendered as HTML (outside angle brackets)

   I am aware of those cases (there may be many more):

   <i lang="en"> untranslated or untranslateable technical term or name </i>
   <span lang="en"> untranslated or untranslateable technical term or name
</span>
   <code lang="en"> untranslated or untranslateable parameter or file name
</code>
   <span title=" explanation or expansion "> abbreviation or short term </span>

   Of course, one could as well use <arg> <var> <abbr> or <tt> where there is
fit.
