I have the same feeling, but I want to point out that msgid is not really 
containing that stuff. Perhaps you could drop another message to 
kde-i18n-doc, amplifying that we need a good wording there.

*sigh* When I was reading my first book on C++, I've seen the and, or, not, 
and thought, "how nice" :) For some strange reason, it is easier for me to 
follow the indenting conventions, than this...

Fine.

As far as I've understood, you've patched it to load properly, and it is 
msgfmt that is making problems?

Strictly speaking, if one is to operate with the new Gettext format, he 
should also have new Gettext installed. By the way, we should tell Bruno 
when do we really need it as a new release.

Practically, there is that problem of not disturbing translators too much, 
but I really don't see any complete solution which doesn't require new 
Gettext being installed.

One patch we could do, is to detect whether msgfmt knows about msgctxt, and 
if it doesn't, skip checking any file which contains "msgctxt" string in 
it (and that would mean additional search through the file). This way, 
user wouldn't be informed about syntax errors in such a file, but would 
have to find out in some other way (e.g. statistics page).
