I see your point, yes partially it is so.

See the GIMP manual for an example. The paragraphs are converted in .po
files. All works wonderfully, especially the update. There is not
"context" problem at all, but the translations are trivially manageable.
Thanks to the wonderful automake (Ulf?) people that made that possible.

Why not use the same method for the site? The only thing that nowadays I
would make different is that I would use Asciidoc instead of docbook-xml
... way easier to write for authors and complete as docbook.

Best,
