<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">The third seems more logical to me, but it could cause issues too, for example if the line-breaks are not \n but \r or \r\n (if the PO file is used for a non-Unix application) how would we know which type of line-break notation to put ack when merging.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">Anyhow, a section on this topic would be good to have in the Guide.</FONT>
