If that's useful for specific translators and meshes well with their 
workflow, I can try doing that. But I don't want to decide for any 
translator what works or doesn't work for them, so I'd rather warn 
upfront lest one get discouraged and quit translating because they 
dislike translating a fast-changing source document. (I've done 
translations myself, and I know from experience it wrecks my workflow to 
have to go back and update bits I already translated.)
