RE: Accepting changes to BP doc - BP 19

Hi Richard,

Thanks for all of the edits.

Here are a couple of observations/remarks related to BP 19. Despite of them, I
would be alright with the edits you have done.

Cheers,
Christian

I guess one consideration is related to inlines/elements within 
text/placeables (see above): message-like expressions with placeholders are 
very likely to undergo a kind reordering (cf. "There are <x> file(s) on <x>.") 
during translation.

to specify unique identifiers.

We could add a note along the lines of: "Often, ids are automatically assigned 
by authoring or content management applications. Thus, authors may not have to 
worry about them in some cases.

Having heard from no-one except Yves, I assume that you are happy with the 
proposed changes currently highlighted in the ITS BP document. So to move 
things along, I hereby give notice that if I hear nothing more before then, 
tomorrow morning, UK time, I will accept all marked changes and all proposals 
in notes.

Cheers,
RI
