> Ok, I've reviewed and merged into my own po branch. It's looking very
-> mergeable. I would still like to go over the `po.pm` code in detail and
-> review it, but it's very complex, and I'm happy with all the changes
-> outside `po.pm`.

+> * In `pagetemplate` there is a comment that claims the code

+> * Is there any real reason not to allow removing a translation?
+> I'm imagining a spammy translation, which an admin might not

+> * Re the meta title escaping issue worked around by `change`.
+> I suppose this does not only affect meta, but other things
+> at scan time too. Also, handling it only on rebuild feels
+> suspicious -- a refresh could involve changes to multiple
+> pages and trigger the same problem, I think. Also, exposing
+> this rebuild to the user seems really ugly, not confidence inducing.
+>
+> So I wonder if there's a better way. Such as making po, at scan time,
+> re-run the scan hooks, passing them modified content (either converted
+> from po to mdwn or with the escaped stuff cheaply de-escaped). (Of
+> course the scan hook would need to avoid calling itself!)
