Hints for translators about GNUN-SLOT

[Yavor Doganov]

Kaloian,

The Afrikaans translator actually had translated the GNUN-SLOT
placeholders literally.  My experience shows that no matter how good
we document these in the manual, people will keep up making the same
mistakes.

The proposed solution will not eliminate the problem entirely, but it
might help a lot.  It makes the HTML comments to propagate in the PO
files, like:

# type: Content of: <div>
#. TRANSLATORS: Use space (SPC) as msgstr if you don't have notes.
#: ../../po/home.proto:256
msgid "*GNUN-SLOT: TRANSLATOR'S NOTES*"
msgstr " "

And the resulting XHTML:

<div style="font-size: small;">

<!--TRANSLATORS: Use space (SPC) as msgstr if you don't have notes.-->
 </div>

(I'm not sure if this will appear in the DOM tree.  Also, I'm not sure
if the indentation is right for Scheme.)

What do you think?
