I see no technical problem, just allow to update the documentation for stable 
all the time and run the script to generate/merge the docpo files, this only 
effects the translation stats and the doc po files, but neither already 
generated language docbooks nor compile/install of an already translated 
language.

If a team generates again the language docbooks with update_xml, it never 
looses a previously succesfully generated language docbook, even if the 
current corresponding docpo file has fuzzies or untranslated messages, 
because update_xml does not process docpo files with fuzzies or untranslated 
messages.

Nobody can loose, but everybody can win:
The doc team has uptodate documentations in stable, the languages teams always 
translate the latest documentations in stable.

compiled? update_xml is just a bash script.
 -v please
