We are miscommunicating.  The suggestion to reword was met with ``we
cannot do this in this manual'', so I asked for examples which cannot
be reworded.  If the only change that's needed to avoid the problem
is to replace @strong with @emph or some such, that's a good solution,
IMHO, it doesn't even qualify as rewording.

Warnings are either useful or not.  If they aren't useful, they should
be removed; if they are useful, then turning them off goes against
their introduction in the first place.
