po2xml isn't really a complete parser, it's very basic, and has just this one 
purpose, occasionally things break it.  >tag> is incorrect markup (it 
should be <sgmltag>tag</sgmltag> and let the docbook stylesheets take care of 
generating the brackets.)

In any case, yes, I (and the author) are aware there are some serious problems 
with the quanta doc, but I didn't realise they were breaking po2xml.  It was 
only moved into the correct place for proper translations a few days ago, 
long after the freeze and any opportunity to fix these things had passed.

Eric, shall I fix them (since without it, it's not going to be translateable 
anyway) or shall we just hold that until the branch, although this will mean 
that nobody can get any translations on it for 3.1 (but they will for 3.1.1)?
