Ah, they're build with different tools. Right, this explains it.

Maybe. I will probably not find the time to analyse and report it ...

Right, I remember that updating PO files can took hours with po4a (to find
via msgmerge similar already translated fuzzy messages, it's probably O(n^2)).
But just building DocBook/XML files from PO should need only seconds?!
PS: Why has Spanish always problems building on www-master? Spanish is really
not an exotic language but the log contains:
es/whats-new.dbk:595: parser error : StartTag: invalid element name
con linux-image-2.6 fallen si está usando una versión 2.2 o 2.4 del núcleo.<
followed by many further errors.
Another question: Why is the net access of xsltproc disabled (--nonet)?
(That's maybe required on buildds but also on www-master?) Whouldn't it solve
the errors:
I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd
es/whats-new.dbk:5: warning: failed to load external entity "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd";
