I think it is a good proposal. People can switch to it or keep the current ones as they wish.

The tags should be created in the file /english/intro/organization.data

Then we need to update the language templates as it is explained in /english/po/README and then translators can update their templates and translate the new tags, if needed.

I can do it during tomorrow Thursday if nobody beats me to it.

Kind regards,
