Of course, I like to use a place that's safe for the future.
What place do you propose? It should be a place that is
available now or very soon, because I'm in a version chaos
already :-( CVS or SVN would rescue me.

AFAIK, there is no explicit support for translations in
DocBook/XML, or maybe I just haven't found it. I think,
that there's a need for:
1. Explicitly mark elements that are to be translated, e.g.
<section translate='1'>
in the original document.
2. Explicitly mark elements that are already translated or
are "fuzzy" translated, e.g.
<para translation-state='translated'/'fuzzy'/'untranslated'>
in the translated (maybe generated?) document.
I have absolutely no experience in this area, so take this
with a pound of salt :-) But that's what I think to have
seen in gettext.
