I experimented a few months ago with generating both the C help strings and man pages from an XML source file. My patch to do this is attached; it is complete and and usable, although not finished or quite how I would want it.

Otherwise, it would be tricky to handle translations properly - the translator must work on the marked-up text and it should be possible to try out new translations without rebuilding the binaries.

Of course. You can, for example, take an installed Subversion and
replace one of its .mo files, and it'll pick up the new translations.

If that doesn't work, I'd like to know about it because it'd be a
serious bug in how we use gettext.
