    Hi Magnus,
    
    Sorry I replied to the wrong email previously I blame it on jet lag. You
    are correct in assuming that the markup will be overriden by the
    translation. It is designed to be a "throw away" type of notation. If we
    wanted to keep the information, then it should be duplicated initially in
    the <source> element. On reflection I think it may be a good idea to also
    include it in the <source> tag. What do you think?
    
    Best Regards,
    
    AZ
