How are CVS Revision numbers used today? The best feature of po is that translation text is marked as 'fuzzy' when the main text is changed. If we could do the same with our docbook translation files whenever the en file is committed then we have the same benefits imo. I'm wondering if CVS Revision numbers could be replaced by a 'fuzzy' markup tag...? > Also, what does everyone think about a name change?
