New FAQ choice

Hi,

Here is the FAQ I chose with Richard's help. 
From the section "Writing source text":
QUESTION: "Is it a good idea to put translatable text in style sheets?" 



Directions for the ANSWER:

Identify type of content to be handled by style sheet:
	- Repetitive.
	- Linguistically independent.
	- Not context sensitive.
	- Examples: Footnotes, headers, 
	- ...

Describe general benefits: 
	Maintenance, reuse, consistency
	...

Conditions required: 
	- Localize style sheets first
	- Make sure T&L processes and tools handle style sheets
	- ...

Other related topics:
	- That might not be the only data to localize. Font, quotes,...
might also require l10n.
	- CSS specifications concerned: 'content' property
	- ...



All input and feedback welcomed.
