Yes, the cleanup will be gigantic work, we will have to find a way to
organize it better.

Well, to me, it's okay and not okay at the same time.

If people really are impatient to embetter the docbook markup, they can
do it for their own language, but also in the same time for English.
English should always be ahead from the other languages. So if you want
to review the kdegames' markup, feel free to do it, but apply the same
markup changes to the English files as well. And please advice Mike Mc
Bride, who is responsible for the English files, he will do the
synchronization to avoid duplicate work on the English files.

If you want to work on the contents, not the markup, (i.e. do new
translations or update your existing translations), just do them, but as
Frederik said, not with the last files to be converted ;-).
