&kappname; is used in the boiler plate texts that are in *every* document.  
When writing your own text, you should use the entity for the actual name of 
the application.  Maybe it's confusing, and instead of &kapp; we should put 
something along the lines of &k-replace-this-with-the-real-name-of-your-app; 
:)

Only if you happen to be writing in, say, German.  Then you'd change it, there 
only and in absolutely no other place, to German.

No, it shouldn't, because &kapp; isn't defined yet.  If you change make a 
definition for &kapp; then yes, it should validate.
