Yes, it's all about finding a workflow that works best for you. It always requires trying things in a few ways before you find the one that suits you. For example, I do any changes to themes and messages_*.xml files and even configuration foles in the deployed directoty, but I remember to copy them immediately after running "ant update". >> 2) You can add your changes to this main messages.xml file even if >> they're for Discovery or any other module, it will work. > > Your explanation leeds me to the assumption that during compilation > all of the separate messages files of the separate modules get merged > into one big catalog.

I don't think it would work if you put it all your messages into discovery's messages.xml. But I may be wrong. What I found out was by trial and error. You may remember that I raised some of these issues with othere DSpace developers in response to your email several months ago, but there's no easy solution in sight.
