I also understand <literal> as a kind of fall-back if there isn't a more
specific tag, so I think <option> should be used when it's there (and
the FDP even recomends it).  The same way that one could mark-up a
filename in <literal> tags if there was no <filename> tag.

With regards to flags tag, I rememeber seeing some other tag that could
also be used for command line arguments, but I can't remember what one
it was right now.
