Once groups are implemented, let each group set its own rules for character counts. HSAPQ wants to have pronounciation guides but not necessarily italic markers or power marks counted. This is a quizbowl policy decision and not a technical one and should be left up to each group using the system. PACE or an independent tournament may want to do it differently.
