Yep. In the last example there all of the text, including all the list markup 
is translated.

Also note that the extraction tool would not know what type of string should 
be extracted. Extraction is an important part.

Note though that you could write your own translation service to handle the 
translatable strings as you wish. But then all the existing extraction tools 
will not work and you would have to provide custom versions of them as well. 
Anyways, I think you would open a can of worms that you do not want to open. 
Remember also, that not all languages are latin-alike. Some customary rules 
that work for English and German might not work for Asian languages for 
example.
