Agreed.
But this willl be solved by allowing customization of translatable
attributes and styles.  This requires some code changes, but also
adding extra documentation for this feature.
I would like to make a new po4a release very soon, and thus do not
want to introduce a bunch of new strings now.  So my plan is to
implement everything than does not need any documentation, and after
that implement Automatic comments are already on my TODO list (and
partially implemented, but not committed yet), do you have any other
suggestion?
