This template syntax does not look inviting (on the German discussion
list we already encountered several complaints).  I'm still wondering
why we cannot go for proper SGML, e.g.:

<description>
<image_description>Picture of the Yokohama harbour
<image_author>G. Blanchard
<image_source>From my homepage http://foo.oeg
<!-- or: <image_source>&Personal_work -->
<image_licence>&GFDL

And yes, displaying the most recent description from common on the local
project page read-only would be a good idea.  Then local users can
easily add a translation below.
