Me too. The "Guide", section 5.6.1., wants a <target> element with attribute
approved="no".  But this is IMO not the right thing:
The XLIFF specification says "approved" indicates
   "whether a translation is final or has passed its final review".
So this is meant to apply to a translation team that has a two-phase
translation process: initial translation and review.  Now, in a PO file,
fuzzies are put by msgmerge, and often are not even remotely related to
the <source> string. So in these cases, both the initial translation
and the review have to be performed, not just the review.  The right way
to express this in XLIFF is through an <alt-trans> element. No?
