Are you saying that condition="pot" only works properly when used
within a table where we can exclude the entire paragraph/entry?
My idea was that "/closeonend:0" should be excluded from the
translation because that must never be translated. But I guess that is
obvious enough to the translators. Getting it excluded from the
spellcheck too was a bonus.

We represent command line options and property names in several
different and inconsistent ways in the docs:
For most app-automation we use a table with condition="pot" for the
option name entry.
For other app-automation parts we put it in an <option> tag.
For some properties we describe them in a <variablelist> and put the
property name inside a <term> tag
For other properties we just include the property name in the text in
a <literal> tag.
Are we doing this wrong, or do we just need to handle all those
different ways in our spellchecking?
We still need to exclude tags condition="pot" from spellchecking,
because most of the app automation switches use those, unless we also
put them inside a <literal> tag.
A relatively simple solution is to exclude the <option> tag from the
spellcheck, and use a <literal> tag inside the <term> tag for the
variablelist items.
