Take

        FTL.Entity(
            id=FTL.Identifier('urlbar-textbox'),
            traits=[
                FTL.Member(
                    FTL.Keyword('placeholder', 'xul'),
                    LITERAL_FROM(
                        'browser/chrome/browser/browser.dtd',
                        'urlbar.placeholder2',
                    )
                ),
                FTL.Member(
                    FTL.Keyword('accesskey', 'xul'),
                    LITERAL_FROM(
                        'browser/chrome/browser/browser.dtd',
                        'urlbar.accesskey',
                    )
                ),
            ]
        ),


and only one of the two source entities exists.

We shall not break.

My preferred outcome would be to generate a partial target entity, so that we don't loose existing translation work.

The generated file would create a compare-locales error, but still, I think.

In the case of a missing source for a CONCAT, I think we should fail through. The generated string needs-work, after all. Hopefully TM catches a bit in this case.

Closing as unnecessary.
