newlines which is making translation efforts a bit difficult.

Going to go through and clean some of these up.

An example is:

      <trans-unit id="permission.jsp.summary.acl">
<source>
&lt;p&gt;You do not have the appropriate permission set to access the
requested page. You may have reached this error page in one of several
ways:&lt;/p&gt;
          &lt;ol&gt;
		  	&lt;li&gt;You are using Konqueror 3.0, which does not handle form 
            variables properly in all cases.  Continuing to use Konqueror 3.0
            will have unexpected results.  If you are using Konqueror 3.0, 
            please use another browser.&lt;/li&gt;
