I'm asking you to question why its important, outside the requirements
of specific docbook elements (those which respect ws in presentation).
* Those who are interested should a) research XML diff tools, and b)
bring this up with the translation team (fedora-i18n-list) to find out
what they want to and are able to do. I just joined that list, and am
prepared to discuss toolchains.
So, while I'm all for Local Variables and letting people indent and use
whitespace as they wish, until we *know* that our documents can be
internationalized with available tools, we must stick with what works,
regardless of our personal preferences.
How will indentation impact i18N (even in the tiniest way) Karsten?
