Thanks for the pointer. As I indicated in my mail, I was guessing something
in this direction.

My main point, here again, is:
If this is about segmentation for translation, then choose a name for
that datacat that makes this clear, i.e. translation-subsegment or
some such. Do NOT create confusion between presentation aspects
(inline vs. block) and segmentation.

Regards,    Martin.
