I support you. Not only is it a problem, one more thing that can  
break, but it's one more difference preventing exact matches using  
msgmerge.

I spend way too much time changing fuzzy strings like this:

,fuzzy
msgid "<b>Preferences</b>"
msgstr "Tùy thích"

to

msgid "<b>Preferences</b>"
msgstr "<b>Tùy thích</b>"

simply adding, modifying or removing formatting to match the original  
string. The actual text is fine.

I really don't see it as our job to adjust formatting. I would indeed  
prefer to concentrate on the actual translation.
