Probably we do not need a strict rule of the style of placeholders because it is mainly for the translators, not for the readers. If we need to make clear which part is not translated yet, keeping the "original revision" line suffices. Probably we have no objection to that the translators can use a placeholder when they want to commit a partly-finished translation of large document in order to make it buildable. Some styles are already suggested, but which should be used is a bikeshed problem, I think. -- | Hiroki SATO ----Security_Multipart(Tue_Sep_21_07_11_06_2004_155)-- Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBT1V6TyzT2CeTzy0RAocRAJ4/PbT6WoC1AibiDTgsME/J6HCQ0QCeOCwm iCGenNvnaetb9tuZ0ZVJMG8= =0+n5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ----Security_Multipart(Tue_Sep_21_07_11_06_2004_155)----
