If you want to put something in the <source> element, it must be the content of the header present in the POT file. That's the real source. Having the original header in the source will introduce garbage in TM systems. When <source> is empty and <target> has text, there is data for only one language and TM systems discard the entry. But if there is an old version of the header in <source> and a newer version in the <target> then there will be data for two languages and garbage will be stored. I say garbage because source language would normally be set to en-US, while <source> data corresponds to something else. I can modify the reference implementation to match this new approach easily, but please define it tomorrow at the latest. We, at Heartsome, are planning to release a new version of our tools on Sunday. This means that we are almost in code freeze now. I want to include the new PO converter in this release and I would like this version to be compliant with Representation Guide.
