Which of the following formatting paragraph styles does the translation team
find more friendly:
When in anger or in doubt, run in
circles, scream and shout. The
quick brown fox jumped over the
lazy dog.
or:

Specificly, should each sentence from the source document be:
1) lines justified all together into the semblance
of a paragraph; or
2) a separate line, no matter how long it gets.
Hopefully, the new XML diff tools won't care which style is used. But I
guess we need to hear from translation to get the definitive answer on
this. FWIW, glad you raised this issue, T.

Right... xmlformat doesn't care about preserving any presentation other
than inside CDATA type containers. *Unless* we decide to go the other
way and use "foo-doc-XX.xml" for each language, in which case we can
restrict tidy-bowl to just particular languages. AFAIK, xmlformat will
not be able to respect parallel structures based on the "lang"
attribute.
Actually I don't care much about this, writer can go either way :)
Especially once the file converted into po file, then there is no
difference for us.
