I see. Thank you for clarification.

BTW, my interpretation of the spec
is that "state" value can be "initial" even when non-empty
<target> is supplied. I personally would not do it in my own tool,
but I can imagine some people may prefer to produce <target> for
all segment and fill in the same value with <source> as the start
point. In this case, the state of segment is not really "translated".

If the intent of the spec is to invalidate
such use case, I think we need more explanation. (Or, am I missing something?)
