	Unless, I've missed something in the discussion[1] this does not change
what an AT sees - it just changes what a translater sees e.g.

	before:

	str = _("<b>Don't fart in my presence</b>");
	gtk_label_set_markup (label, str);

	after:

	str = g_strconcat ("<b>", _("Don't fart in my presence"), "</b">);
	gtk_label_set_markup (label, str);
	g_free (str);

	
	i.e. nothing has changed from a gtk/atk point of view - its just making
translation less painful.

Good Luck,
Mark.
