In my view this certainly is OK. It simply means that you do can use &kappname;
where you want to use the entity for the current application.
The advantage is that if the name of the application changes, and this happens,
you do not need to change the messages. Like the change we had with ktts to
jovie, but there have been more.
Another advantage is that a message like "&kappname; handbook", which can be
used in all docbooks, only needs to be translated once.
However it is not used very often by the document writers.
So this not a bug, but a feature and it may need some promotion.
