Why does newpo still create the .po file(s) from the DTDs? A .po file is
created from a .pot. :)

pot2po will take the .pot file and create a .po file, merging in any
translations already present.

So normally you'd extract the messages you want from the DTDs to the .pot and
then commit the .pot and have translators work from the committed .pot in
order to have proper versioned collected files to work from. This keeps
tighter grip on the entire translation effort.

In this case I am a bit spoilt by Babel, since it fills in LANGUAGE in
Language-Team. Then again, pot2po does not require any locale argument.

Also, the Project-Id-Version needs to be filled in in the .pot.
