The following two is equivalent:

  <blockquote>
    <para>A: Many of our customers want to know how they can
      maximize productivity through our patented office groupware
      innovations.  The answer is simple.  First, click on the
      <literal>File</literal> menu, scroll down to
      <literal>Increase&#xA0;Productivity</literal>,
      then&#x2026;</para>

But po4a can't think so, since po4a can't understand ISO XML entity:

I have many source xml, book.xml include those xmls use external entity.
I can use '-o includeexternal' for issue a po4a-updatepo command only.

But when I run 'po4a-translate', what's the recommanded method?
I must run po4a-updatepo for every source xml. If I run po4a-updatepo
to the pretreatment result[1], I run into ISO xml entity issues with po4a.
