I vote against that. What happens if a user loads a file created by 2.0.1 (with activated local prettyref translations) with 2.0.0? 2.0.0 could either refuse to load such files (bad), or it could load them, but produce different output (bad as well, since the file format bump should avoid exactly that). Please don't get me wrong: I agree completely about the usefulness of local refstyle translations, but IMO they are not a must-have for the 2.0.x series. Prettyref translations have been broken forever. You improved the situation for some languages with your refstyle support, so 2.0 already has an advantage already. It would be nice to have more, but at some point in time it must be decided that a release is finished, and this will always include some bugs that are still open. Georg
