This would put localized parser tag names in the hands of the users via the
mediawiki namespace. This seems like a bad idea. A user could cause wide spread
problems by editing such a message ( bug 23287 comes to mind. But the simple
fact that changes wouldn't be immediately apparent since every page would need
to be re-parsed to see if there is stuff that would now (or no longer) be a
parser tag seems confusing enough to the end user to not want users to be able
to change these parser tag "aliases")

I think the magic word system would make much more sense for this.
