English stripping of lists
There are some problems with english stripping of lists. Sometime we just can't translate them item per item.
E.g.: there's "Don't use "The" in the beginning" item at lj://schools/ and there are no articles in Russian.
It is a frequent condition. Lists should be stripped as paragraphs, not item per item. It is much better to strip such a lists as one big item. It'll make them much easier to translate. That should be general rule: make translation item as big as you can.
Here is an example of what I talking about (from /friends/add.bml):
$body .= "$ML{'.confirm.action1.person'} ";
$body .= "$ML{'.confirm.action2.person'} " if ($u->{'journaltype'} ne "I");
$body .= " p?>";
