These English words "excluded" and "included" make the translator me
want to translate them. But they could be the markers for scripts, so
they may not be translated. How about using non alphanumeric letters
instead?

I agree they should not be translated, but it is a disease to think
unintelligible mnemonic is a better input format for scripts than
the spelled out words.  "excluded/included" pair is just fine.
