   With all the messages buried in the source stream, managing them becomes   
   difficult at scale or if multiple target languages are to be supported.

   Labels aren't text messages. There are several use cases for the =X   
   operand here. Hypothetically   
      
   label: mov eax, =c"message text"   
           mov ebx, =a(label)   
      
   The first is only appropriate for a very small source program or for   
   strings that don't require much management. The second (the A operator   
   is an address) is appropriate regardless of scale; labels don't in   
   general need any management.
