You still need to store some reference right?

I think preference in some way should be decided by what people are doing
in terms of translation.  Pootle can handle both XLIFF and PO.  But there
might be quite a few people who translate offline using PO tools.  This
would mean for many a tool change.  But I'm not sure how many people are
translating offline.

Can you maybe explain that further, I'm not a fan of TM that decides
e.g.Open == Open in the source when it is translators who need to make that
decision. How are you disambiguating those cases.
