Well, firstly, I'd rather you solved the two problems in a slightly
reverse order: first allow linebreaks inside blocktrans, then let's
worry about stripping whitespace. But it's up to you.
My ideal scenario would be that if we have a block of text that needs to
be translated, strip a constant amount of whitespace from the front of
each line. This amount will be the minimum amount of leading whitespace
on any of the lines in that block. So, at the end, one line (at least)
will always be flush against the left margin and all other lines will be
indented relative to that line as they were in the source text.
(My reason for writing that alternative formulation is because I don't
really understand what you were asking about being on the same level as
the blocktrans tag. I'm not sure why the tag is relevant here.)
Come up with a patch that does whatever you like and we can go from
there. I think we're thinking along similar lines, so it will be easy
enough to tweak once we have some concrete code to throw darts at.

Malcolm
