http://developer.kde.org/documentation/library/kdeqt/kde3arch/kde-i18n-howto.html#SECTION000123000000000000000
does only mention merging, but the problem looks similar. It says "Ask one of 
the KDE admins to merge the existing .po files.".

So should there be a similar entry for renamed PO files? And one should ask 
sysadmins (with the full l10n checkout constraint = true) to do the mass 
renaming?

Would the attached patch to the Howto then be okay?

As there is a tex file as well as the html file, how is the html file created? 
Could you help, Gary?

Regards
Friedrich
