Hm, actually the patch doesn't change the behavior of xml2po... it still expands the entities, but since the expansion is necessarily based on what the internal subset declares -- i.e. "fdp-entities.ent" in the same directory relative to the XML file -- now the expanded entities will match what's in the POT. > This hack makes my stomach ache, but I'll leave it alone > for now. Wait, I thought I was *removing* hackiness! :-| When we started using the mydoc.xml.in stuff, we were still working toward trying to make the internal subset do weird tricks while we kept the entity references intact in the POT and PO files. I think we've now realized this was the hacky part, thanks to Mr. Veillard's gentle pushing, and just not doing it is the simpler and more correct thing to do. -- Paul W.
