    They actually should not be at all in any <trans-unit> I think--at least not
    as content--since they are not part of the extracted text.
    
    That's why I would be concern if extensions elements in <source> and
    <target> were to introduce additional "structure" (I'm still not sure if
    it's the right word). Having chunks of content not belonging to the actual
    text of the <source> or <target> would seem to lead to much more work for
    handling the text itself.
    
    Christian's example of <olf:term> illustrates the way that would probably be
    preferable when one needs to associate a lot of data with a specific part of
    the <source>/<target> text.
    
    Maybe there are scenarios where "embedded" content is the only way... I'm
    trying to think of any, but come empty so far.
