Yah!  I really shouldn't post to mailing lists when I'm too sleepy to
read and understand the message I'm responding to. :-)

But I least I posted my real life example, which is to use the role
when the <imageobject> elements are otherwise indistinguishable.
Ie. when they have the same @format value.

I agree.

How about accepting both "tex" and "latex" for the places where it's
already in use, for legacy reasons, but mark it as deprecated in the
docs, and only accept "latex" for the new places?
