I don't think it's a good idea.  We should let translation teams use
what they think is the best solution.  And a translation team could even
decide to just not add skeleton for non-translated section/chapter.

And from my point of view <title>Translated title *</title> or
<title>* Translated title</title> are just not good cause confusing and
not enough clear when you look at the TOC.

I really think we should let teams make the choice on this point.
