So this is a transformation to keep the resulting file tidy, with less
tagging. I'm planning such a transformation for WordML files before
submitting them for translation where less tagging means higher
translation quality.
May be a stupid question, but why would the amount of markup influence the quality of a translation?

Try to envisage a scenario when you get a simple string like:

"Text to translate"

where every single letter is enclosed with some twelve tags. I received such files for translation (they are translated with at least partial tags shown onscreen). And I can assure you that reading such a cluttered text means slower work and more errors. When I got at two or three tags in a sentence, it doesn't hurt, but when there are hundreds of them...

Best regards,
