Maybe I should have provided more context in the example: "... data" is non-translatable text.
The <mrk id='m1' translate='no'> is just the corresponding data that span of content.

My point is: If a segment has an isolated <sm/> or <em/>, we can just complement it with the corresponding start in the CTR <item>. My more general point being that <item> is a representation of the object model, not of the unparsed original XLIFF markup.
