No

Reasons for an <ig> tag:
1. it's a lot of extra typing
2. it's error-prone because of the duplication
2. people get confused and think they're identical:

<Schindler> <e lm="hire out"> <i>hir</i><par n="liv/e__vblex"/><p><l><b/>out</l><r><g><b/>out</g></r></p></e>
Here the left and the right sides are the same right? So why can’t we have <i> tag?
<e lm="hire out"> <i>hir</i><par n="liv/e__vblex"/><i><b/>out</i></e>
<Unhammer> Schindler, they're not identical

    I like it: https://github.com/jimregan/lttoolbox/pull/37
    haven't updated dtds or such things

    Yay! But how do I use it?

    $ grep ig /tmp/foo.dix
        <e lm="hire out"> <i>hir</i><par n="vblex"/><ig><b/>out</ig></e>
$ lt-comp lr /tmp/foo.dix /tmp/foo.bin
Error (27): Invalid specification of element '<ig>' in this context.
$ apertium-validate-dictionary /tmp/foo.dix
/tmp/foo.dix:19: element ig: Schemas validity error : Element 'ig': This element is not expected.
/tmp/foo.dix:19: element e: validity error : Element e content does not follow the DTD, expecting (i | p | par | re)+, got (i par ig)
Document /tmp/foo.dix does not validate against /usr/share/lttoolbox/dix.dtd

    Oops. Committed a fix. Works for me now.
