Greg,

Without testing, I believe the pseudo-source will export to GEDCOM,
but will look like a source citation. Not sure what it would look like
on import - I suppose that depends on the importing application.

I'd think the memo approach would export provided the tag type was one
in which the GEDCOM spec expected a memo output. Import results again
depend on what the importing application did with that tag type.

I'd guess neither is likely to look after import as it did in TMG,
though I guess that the pseudo-source approach might have a better
chance.
