The only new entities from kdoctools used by Kate are new author
entities, which appear to be shipped as of kdelibs 4.7.3.

$ rpm -q kdelibs
kdelibs-4.7.3-2.fc16.x86_64
$ grep Hollingsworth
/usr/share/kde4/apps/ksgmltools2/customization/entities/contributor.entities
<!ENTITY TC.Hollingsworth
'<personname><firstname>T.C.</firstname><surname>Hollingsworth</surname></personname>'>
<!ENTITY TC.Hollingsworth.mail '<email>tchollingsworth at gmail.com</email>'>

I tried to reproduce this, but Fedora's po2xml appears to be broken.
