Alas, we don't need (and shouldn't!) use TeX keywords. I'm all for using
LyX-specific keywords. We can just use TeX-like syntax instead of XML-like
syntax, especially that one can do conversion both ways, say like this
<tag val1="abc">something blah</tag> <--> \tag[val1="abc"]{something blah}
It's just a more concise, entirely equivalent notation. If one wants to get
even more concise in special cases then:
<tag val1="abc">singleword</tag> <--> \tag[val1="abc"]singleword
Making the tag automatically apply to the next word only if no group follows.
<tag val1="onewordordnumber> --> \tag[val1=onewordordnumber]...
Making the quotation marks optional for values which consist of a single word
or number.
