Yes, if no one disagrees. :)

And hopefully promote the use of KUIT context markers and tags to 
programmers? :) What is obvious to them is often not so to translators, 
usually only seeing extracted strings in POs. KUIT can be used as a bridge 
to convey programmers' intentions to us. It helps eliminate ambiguity to a 
great extent, and it also tells me whether I can add an accelerator or not: 
I will not add one to @item:inlistbox or @title:window. :)  

I always appreciate your answering my questions but the code is changing. 
Today's menu item might be a window title tomorrow. The string is not 
fuzzied when the identical string in a different context is added to the 
code...
