Using button bitmaps in text

Hello Everyone.
Has anyone heard about the style guideline that suggests putting button bitmaps on a new line rather than in line? For example:
Correct:
Click the xyz button.
<button bitmap>
Incorrect:
Click the xyz button. <button bitmap>
I have not seen that guideline in the MSFT Style Guide and have no luck with Google. But, I have heard that this guideline makes translation easier, though I'm not sure how.
Also, what if the sentence does not end with the button? For example:
Click the xyz button
<button bitmap>
to open something.
I know I can easily re-write it to put the button at the end, but would I do that every time?
Thanks for your help!
