there is no specific reason for that, both should work fine.

Yes.

Yes, that's true. We can change that as well.

See in the wiki
"The XSLT-based "decoration" approach was pioneered by Spritser, a general
ITS 1.0 implementation provided by Sebastian Rahtz (Oxford University). "

The translate decorator is a simplified implementation of what Spritser
offers. It's only advantage: easy of use and a very specific use case. One
question we have to think about is how to go on from here (Christian might
remember this ;) ): write more decorators (e.g. "within text" decorator),
or make more documentation about Spritser and replace the Translate
decorator with it. I think both are fine and are rather a question of
time, e.g. Sebastians time.
