Not necessarily true: you need at least some familiarity with HTML to
make sure you know what they are doing.

If by "everyone capable of translating" you really mean everyone, then
probably yes. But when you put this in the context of those who are
likely to actually translate for Haiku, it is most likely that they
already know the term, so I don't anticipate any problems; and if they
don't know, we have just taught them something. :)
