Well, yes, I agree with both your positions :-) Too many too little docbooks 
are really a bit nuicanse and yes, I meant exactly quite a few manuals where 
there may be reasonable to let some chapters untranslated at least for a while 
(I provided as example kate-advanced because it is a part of KDE SC but, of 
course, in extragear there are more examples, digikam, krusader, kmymoney 
being the first ones I remember)
