Hmm... As a scripter I'd prefer to use the list, but as a translator, I'd like 
to have complete control of the string... For the benefit of the latter, I 
think it's ok to use the string instead. So, when instancing a Publication 
record, the authors field would be simply like this?

#:authors (G_ "Jane Roe, Eva Lua and Luis Felipe")

That's what I thought, and I was about to ask if it was possible to have <date> 
and <authors> instead of <1> and <2>. I guess not...

I need a course on the i18n system :)
