Then, with some experience, do the same change for 1.2. Until now we haven't come around to do so. Perhaps we should indeed consider to update gimp-print in the stable branch. How do you suggest should we proceed? Should we depend on libgimpprint or would it be a good idea to ship gimp-1.2.4 with the whole thing? I'd much rather you link to libgimpprint, and I thought that that's what we had decided. The 4.2.1 version of the plugin, which is presumably what you'd use, had no changes whatsoever over 4.2.0; that code base is rock stable. 4.2.2 will offer a useful quality upgrade (a new dither algorithm) for people printing photos, but that will be a library-only upgrade. 4.2.3 may require a plugin upgrade to get some new functionality that we're discussing, but the 4.2.0 plugin will work with 4.2.3, it just won't have that new functionality.

All strict XML like correct closing and shortened tags as well as case sensitivity are obeyed, I just haven't checked if anything special changed between DocBook/SGML and DocBook/XML but it should be trivial to fix that. Assuming you are using the version 4.1.2 DTD, there is no difference. If you are using the older version 3.x DTD, then to move to 4.1.2 XML the only significant change is that whatever the tag was called that gave the article info (title, authors, etc) is now called articleinfo (but was called something else in 3.x -- sorry, can't remember the old name). Yes, I have seen it, but I think that it is better XSLT instead of python, because XSLT is more easy and it was designed for this kind of jobs :-).

The loops and conditionals in XSLT are very basics, and variables and parameters are limited. I wouldn't care too much about the Python output now, HTML is important and XSLT is THE choice here. I love sablotron. It is fast and very easy to use. Also, it has almost every feature of the XSLT standar. I see, how long would it take to transform into HTML compared to Jade? The xsltproc that comes with libxslt works out of the box, too and is being used a lot in the GNOME project already. When you XSLT files you must say XSLT file. Unlike DocBook, with XSLT we only will be able to produce one file, instead of one by sect1. Anyway, it will be easy :) So we cannot slice the HTML output into several files? That's sort of a problem, really. It took quite some time to figure out how to get Jade to do that and still releases are a pain in the neck because there's a lot which has do be done manually still. This is simpoly not the case. Norm Walsh has produced an XSLT package that allows chunking, as it is called. libxslt supports it and, as I understand, a some other XSLT processors do as well (it requires an extension to the engine, but the mechanism for supplying this is documented in the spec, etc). Saxon, for one, can handle the chunking also, since that is what a lot of the DocBook developers use. Basically, you can specify which level of sectioning gets put on a new page (by default, each sect1 is a new page). You can also configure whether the files are named by using id() calls, or by using the id tag of the leading element (the latter is preferable, providing each section tag is written as sect1 id=layers-dialog, etc).

However I don't see any particular problem here. Of course translators need to put some thoughts into the mnemonics they use in the translations and should try not to deviate too much from the original (english) mnemonics. I usually consider the mnemonics to be chosen so that they are easy to remember and access to be of much higher importance than any attempt to make them not deviate too much from their English equivalents. Often, the English characters are not even part of the translated word, so it's usually not particularily useful to use a strategy of not deviating too much, especially as this strategy may cause the mnemonic to clash with much better mnemonics where it's not even possible to use the English equivalent even if you would want to do so. For these reasons, I myself have long since given up any strategy to not deviate too much, and instead try to choose the mnemonics wisely.
