The main concern of the translators is the really common markup, like
the font weights, styles, and sizes. In which case we could use the
known values like above.

If we want to support all possible tags it would start getting ugly
again:

  <widget class="GtkLabel" id="label1">
     <property name="label" markup="foreground=&quot;blue&quot weight=&quot;bold&quot; size=&quot;x-large&quot;">label1</property>
  </widget>

I'd be OK with that as well. Though it doesn't look like people are going to agree anyway.
