Yes. Absolutely and we didn't get a step ahead ;-)

Yes.

Good design. Now for my ideas to improve it:
- Use a blank line to separate the items. You won't need the lines in
the given order then as you can detect the blank line instead of the
"new:" line.
- Write "#id:" instead of "id:",
"#" instead of "desc:",
"msgid:" instead of "eng:" and
"msgstr:" instead of "new:".
That would make the format gettext compatible. Not that we use it
(yet) but we coul'd still keep that as an option.
Florian.
