Ah yes, I skipped that part of your question.
This is doable, see for instance Locale::Po4a::Xml documentation:

  translated
    Space-separated list of tags you want to translate.

    The tags must be in the form <aaa>, but you can join some
    (<bbb><aaa>), if a tag (<aaa>) should only be considered
    when it's into another tag (<bbb>).

    You can also specify some tag options by putting some
    characters in front of the tag hierarchy. For example,
    you can put 'w' (wrap) or 'W' (don't wrap) to override the
    default behavior specified by the global "wrap" option.

    Example: W<chapter><title>

The main issue is to define a syntax which will be intuitive for Asciidoc users.
