Oh no! What have we done!?! :)

I haven't much to say about it really other than: Great work, Christophe!
I thought about if you might use Theme instead of Source.
(Theme: the participant undergoing the event; the one who the event
happens to - often the participant undergoing an event of motion Eg.
'Bill fell down'.) Hmm... Now that I'm writing it, it looks more similar
to the Experiencer (your Destination) actually.
So Your Source and Common Theme is not quite the same thing. So your new
way of describing it is probably the way to go, imho. :)

One thing I was missing was examples and interlinears. They would
make it all somewhat clearer. But as you said, they will come along.
So, I'll just sit here and wait, comme d'hab.
