Hi Matthew,

Sorry for the late response, I've got quite some pending email waiting
for some attention.

Is this maybe not extracted by xml2po?  If so, filing a bug upstream
would help me look into it :)

(we might want to look into why was it rejected)

This procedure should work.  Also, diff _might_ work, but if it
doesn't, it will cause you a lot of problems trying to merge updates
by hand.   That's why I suggest using complete PO files.
