I think that we could reasonably get away with the following minimal set
of tags:

      * para, emphasis, emphasis(strong)
      * ulink, xref
      * itemizedlist, orderedlist, listitem
      * menuchoice, guimenuitem
      * screen, userinput
      * sect, title

It would be nice to have admonitions (tip, caution etc.) too, although
they're not strictly necessary.

One possible issue is in the marking-up of GUI items. Without the
guibutton and guilabel tags, deciding whether to use emphasis or
emphasis(strong) could cause confusion.

Thanks,

Phil
