Quoting from Shaun McCance:

I've just added the following to all the pages in gnome-help:

  <revision pkgversion="3.0" version="3.0.1"
   date="2011-04-06" status="outdated"/>


So, no, if we put a Mallard parser on D-L we could know the outdated
status of mallard documents.

Maybe even the mallard2po (or whichever script transforms mallard to po
files) could also add some metadata to the strings that are inside a
document with that header.

Shaun, could you explain it further?

Cheers,
