Please rethink this decision.  *Please*

I highly doubt you're writing about an application that is actually called 
KApp.  If this document is ever intended to be part of KDE CVS, or translated 
by KDE's translators, we're just going to change it anyway. 

There's no guarantee that the translators for example, will see the entire 
document in one piece, and will have no idea what application they are 
translating about.  It's difficult already to read for those of us who have 
to look at lots of documents, the instructions specifically say that the 
entity used should be the name of the application, and nothing else, and we 
had an entire thread already trying to explain this.
