Well, that's not the standard way things are done in -doc-land :-) The problem is that multiline changes make life harder for the translators since it makes it less obvious what has changed. So the correct change to e.g. remove 7 words (like your first one) leaves a short line and that's acceptable. If desired, a later change can more the whitespace around, but if so that one gets done with "translators please ignore". In any case since whitespace in the document doesn't affect the rendering it is more often than not left that way, especially for short lines. It's also less CVS churn that way. mcl
