Actually, the diff for en-US is more complicated that it would have to
be. This is because we did the en-US import first, when we first had
some problems with the script. The imports for the other locales are
much more straighforward:

* Links are automatically converted
* No weird spacing between divs

Therefore, the only job for localizers should be to verify that there
are no "garbage" characters left.

In order to make the diff between "raw import" to "updated for firefox
3" clearer, I think we should backup the en-US files, re-import them
en-US files with the updated script, and then re-apply the changes. That
will allow localizers to see a more exact diff, showing exactly what
they should do with their files.

(Chris, I'll get back to you with instructions on how to do this without
breaking the article translation links.)

See Chris bug report. We are missing some CSS that makes the diff
uncolored. Hopefully we can push a fix for this to the live server this
week.


Hope this helps.

That'd be cool and helpful for the translation work here, I guess.

The styles in the bug make sense to me. Commented in the bug.
