Only if in styling them differently, we were able to make plain text
output do something sane ... such as removing the prompt all
together. :)  I cannot see how we could tell without some clever and
specific usage so XSLT could detect it.

Also, wouldn't it be:

<screen><prompt>...</prompt><userinput>...</userinput></screen>

?

There is definite value in having full and proper contextual markup,
although it is a PITA in some cases getting fully specific.
