I really don't want to mix html into translation.  Just tried to beautify the 
ugly reality :-)

Natural language in real example consisted of

   <>Edit this user<> or <>find other accounts<>
   or go <>back to the user list<>

where <> are HTML markup parts and second line is conditional

Not all languages maintain progression similar to English so I doubt about 
possibility to translate

   [_1] or [_2] or go [_3]

to every language without complications, given that 1, 2 and 3 are phrases by 
themselves, already passed through l().

Yes, we're trying to separate natural language and html markup better
(see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367784)

Double quotes do allow ${} interpolation within.

Thanks for your feedback!
