I believe this is a highly translator unfriendly approach - and not using the 
XML features available, but I'm not very stubborn or 'religious' in my views 
on this - so if this is the general view on the issue, I'll change my filters 
to conform to this approach :) ... But a round on the issue with the XLIFF TC 
would be beneficial first.
