Possibly. That may be the case for <sc> and <ec> too.

I didn't have a set expectation.

When computing the state of translate in a segment one must take account both the segment and the ignorable elements into account as
part of a whole, otherwise you simply cannot end up with the correct result.

Note also that ignorable element contains whatever the Extractors or Modifiers deem appropriate (whitespace and inline codes most of
the time). While its content is not expected to be translatable text, it may need to be adapted in some cases, for example to remove
whitespace between segments in some languages, or to adjust whitespace when re-ordering the target.

I tend to agree.
But other really need to look at all this and have opinions.

Possibly. But let's just make sure we don't add repeated warnings, notes, PRs all over the place. As a general guideline we should
be concise. In my experience, overwhelming the reader with repeated information often leads to confusion and make things look more
complex than they are. The Segmentation Modification section is an example of that. I'll get to that at some point.
