Then what about lines like this:
<emphasis role="bold">NEVER install a setuid root
<application>MPlayer</application> binary on a multiuser system!</emphasis>
the <emphasis> tags is already used but there are still capital letters in the 
emphasised sentence.

also some other questions:

1. sometimes MPlayer is used with <application> tags, sometimes not, and 
sometimes we use mplayer, is there any rule about which should be used in 
different place?

2. the link tags in the document sometimes include the word 'section', for 
example:

see the <link linkend="gui">GUI section</link> before compiling

sometimes it does not include the word, like:

Installation instructions can be found in the
<link linkend="sorenson">Sorenson video codec</link> section

I think we should not include 'section' in the link, at least we should use 
just one style.
