Yes I think so, although I have no way to tell really. As far as I can
see, making the pot using the gnome-doc-utils package with the -e switch
also solves the problem nicely. However, I still think that we should
proceed with turning the faqguide into one single .xml file, because the
translated xml files will be single files, so we might as well have the
original in a single file too. It will also allow us to check that the
whole document is valid xml.

I'm not sure at the moment whether uploading a pot made with a
completely different tool will allow the translators to go on
translating. I am concerned to minimise any risk of lost translations,
and if using the same utility (gnome-doc-utils) can help with this, then
I am keen to do it. Even if we upload a new pot, made with xml2po -e, I
am not yet sure how many translations will be lost. Probably, a lot. :(
