You should speak about

 - the problem of entities (global.ent) as used in some old
   translations and the main tree (deletes can make unbuildable manuals)

 - Jouni suggested to split up installation.xml also, as it is
   a hube beast now, and it is impossible to start the translation
   and finish it in a reasonable time (the same as with function
   files, mixed language). That is the most huge part, and there
   are some semi-sections (eg. Servers- prefix of titles), which
   are ugly IMHO, but with the current system, we can't do anything.

 - Extending docbook with namespaces. Also with drawbacks (design
   validity testing and other problems mentioned by Jirka).

After reading the pdf through these things seemed to be
important. Maybe more will come into my mind in the future.
