I agree!

One other problem I have seen is that applications that make use of some
form of XML GUI designer often request all those strings when the dialog
is first built.  So you log more then are actually visible.

I think its documented in the manual but you will also need to run
msguniq over the resultant log as it logs whenever a string is
requested.
