I don't think it can be done. To arrive at a rule(s) that reliably selects placeables, you'll need both source and target language. English "EU" would be a placeable in Dutch, but not so much in French. And Dominique already mentioned German capitals. Even numbers can cause problems, they may require comma-dot conversion. It's simply, err, too difficult. For me anyway.
Cheers,
Hans
