Hold on a minute. You're saying only the english version would be in
Docbook, and then you'd use .po files? So how do I as an end user
actually *read* the FAQ then? I need to both process .po and Docbook?

I remain very unconvinced that making it that much more complex is
worth it.. But if someone sets up a complete system to test it, sure -
since I don't write *or* read any of the translated FAQs we should
obviously listen more to those who do.
