I would suggest something like this:

* Everything inside a <screen> tag is assumed by default as 
  computeroutput, unless otherwise stated.

* The prompt should be denoted like this: <prompt>bash#</prompt>
  or <prompt>bash$</prompt> (depending on whether it is the root
  or any user). 

* Commands are placed inside a <command> element.

* The text inputed by the users, other that commands, e.g. in
  interactive programs, is placed inside a <userinput> element.

What do you think? Does it become too complicated?
