I think that maybe it is time to implement "locked" Braille. To simplify
things at the beginning, if anything is changed in Braille the whole
L<Lbrl> element should be locked, that is, the atribute class="locked"
should be aded to it. liblouisutdml would then treat this <brl> element
as something to be inserted verbatim into the translation, except that
<newline> and <newpage> elements might be adjusted to maintain proper
formatting.
