As minimum this generates a big confusion.
Translators have a short time to complete translations,
if in this period POT files changes continously we have
serious troubles. In documentation if a single string is 
untranslated, the entire translation can be lost. 
Sometime this is not the case, sometime it is.
I gone bed 2 a.m. to be able to complete kspread translation,
next morning i've my job
I have not enought time to check if a new fuzzy is "dangerous" or not.
By my point of view, every fuzzy is something what can waste my work. 
I lost some translations in the past for similar reasons
and i don't want risk to loss other translations now or in the future.

I think that Nicolas's idea of an 'American English' is a great idea.
