Yes, or positively: Gnumeric or Emacs are <application>s (cf. Walsh, TDG
(The Definitive Guide), p. 134s.).  I don't see the need to tag the
"protocols".  Do you want to achive special visual effects?  Automatic
generation of index entries (interesting point!).

The name of the game is "X", "X11", "X Window System", etc. (cf. X(1)).

Yes ;)

Me, too.  I'd tag those as <option> or <literal>.
