Details:
I was looking into migrating the shadow project from gnome-doc-utils to a pure
gettext solution. But found multiple hurdles.
The first was the lack of dockbook.its and .loc files. The itstool project
contains at least the first. The files do not seem to support man pages
properly. But even after some minor corrections
this is mainly blocked by the lack of a merge mode (#52159), that attributes
such as "class" get dropped, and that inline tags get quoted instead of
injected as-is.
Attached a tarball of a test case, showing some of the problems.
(Ideally DocBook 4 and 5 would be supported, itstool contains support for that
and few other similar formats.)
