I vote no.

Why not create your own tag parser and upload script? Here are some possible requirements to help you get started:

  1. Read a text file and convert your special tags
  2. grab login info from the command line with Term::Readkey (for security on your own box - see Bulk Node Title Editor for more) or use HTTP::Cookies to grab the info from your cookie file
  3. Use LWP and HTTP::Request::Common to post
Just be sure to do a LOT of testing first! If this sounds a bit scary (and it should), then simply write a Perl script that replaces the tags for you and paste the output of it into the post text area by 'hand'.
