You can fill bugs in bugzilla as always, or send them to the KBabel
mailing list kbabel@mail.kde.org. The mailing list a better option than to
send them to me directly, since all the developers of KBabel are on the
mailing list (for example Marco Wegner did the CVS support and Stefan
Asserhall is the author of Catalog Manager caching).

Yes, since it is not a correct XML :-). I've turned on XML testing for any
file and some of the tags in files are not real tags, so the error is not
in fact an error :-(. Not sure how to handle this. 

It's similar to a situation, where the PO file contains a construction 
like "Hu=Hugarian" and it should be translated as "Sk=Slovensky". This 
will trigger an equation error, but it is not in fact.

It's possible. Again, not exacly defined correctness or a bug. Please, 
send me the file.

Again, any example to reproduce?

Hmmm, surely a bug.

Yes, it disapears, it's a feature. Toggling to fuzzy like the
check_po_files script does is probably a good feature.

Marco, could you comment on these?

Works for me. Does it create a cache file in $KDEHOME/share/apps/kbabel ?

Thanks for reports!
