I actually found such a case. If I have the header fuzzy marked, the city 
report looks like in the screenshot cityreport.png. But when I remove the 
fuzzy line, it looks like in the screenshot cityreportwrong.png, which is 
clearly wrong. I didn't change anything else in sv.po between the 
screenshots. This doesn't necessarly mean that headers should be fuzzy 
marked. Maybe there is some other problem which is prevented from being 
triggered by fuzzy marking the header?
