Of course you're right; if the parsing is done pre-POT -- which is what
I think we agree has to happen, to ensure consistency and the ability
for translators to access the entire document.

So the idea would be, AIUI:

* Drop the po/${DOC_ENTITIES}.pot target
* Drop all '-k' switches for ${XML2PO}

...?  (Don't feel like you have to figure this out and reply, I'm more
thinking out loud here.)

Totally understood.  Hope everything is going well, we miss you 'round
these parts. :-)  I am in the middle of an office move -- not quite as
traumatic, but it definitely has messed up my schedule and kept me from
getting to a lot of work I meant to accomplish.
