We used lxml relax validation[1] and raise its error message which is not
always clear. I think it will be good to try to improve lxml on this topic.

When Tryton can not migrate a field it generate a warning message that tells
you: "unable to migrate field from this format to this one".

Tryton does lazy loading on every lists (with a limit of 20000 records, over
that it needs manual pagination with offset/limit)
You can try the demo server[2] and open the translation list in
"Administration>Localization>Translations"

Not yet. I'm not aware that dependencies library are already available on
Python 3 like psycopg2, lxml, Genshi.

Not sure I'm the right person to answer to this. But here is some goals of
Tryton compared to OE:

- coding guidelines
- consistency
- (real) modularity
- standard (pypi, webdav etc.)
- simplicity (modules as simple as possible)
