Thank you for clarification. BTW, my interpretation of the spec is that "state" value can be "initial" even when non-empty <target> is supplied. I personally would not do it in my own tool, but I can imagine some people may prefer to produce <target> for all segment and fill in the same value with <source> as the start point. In this case, the state of segment is not really "translated". If the intent of the spec is to invalidate such use case, I think we need more explanation. (Or, am I missing something?) -Yoshito
