(*) looks funny in KMail from 3.4. :-)

I think in VPL it should be removed, and in source editor the behavior 
should depend on the Smart Tag Insertion setting.

If you do that, should you use some kind of class attribute for the 
second strong tag? Of course removal should happen only if the two tags 
are completely the same, including the attributes.

Usually this is solved by selections. The scope is the selected text.
I've just tried KWord and pressing B on a word does not change the 
word's boldness. Alignments do have a line scope though.

I'm wondering if we need scope informations where should it be: the 
action file or the description of the tag. I believe in the latter.
