Yeah, that's exactly what I had in mind.  Note that we'd still have to
have some command-line stuff to update a mapping of menus->XSLT, since
I think we can't look through .desktop files in XSL.

I'd also like to hear Shaun's opinion on this, since he's still the
primary author of g-d-u stylesheets and Yelp ;)

xml2po would need no changing so far (I am bad, less work for me! :)

Cheers,
