Business

- Translation of required-cleanup
    - Robert summarized his email. Suggestion to make default translate=no on 
        required-cleanup and draft-content.
    - What about child elements of required-cleanup and draft-content that set 
        translate=yes? 
    - Probably result of user mistake and better not to translate.
    - discussion...
    - Robert moves to add translate=no to these 2 elements and that translate=yes
        is respected.
