The document could also be changed by using entities, and then using
something like &right_not_wrong; and &right_not_left;
This is a good hint. I think for the for occasion these kind of problems
occur, this trick will do it!
Regarding the issues you already mentioned, I intend to fix the
'>>'
issue.
I don't think I can do anything about the validation of the XML tags in
po4a. I intend to fix the '>>' issue, and then release a 0.29.1
The latest cvs solves it partly: if run with -o ignore="mediaobject
imageobject" I get correct xml in the .po file (no >>).
If run without -o ignore="mediaobject imageobject", the imagedata line does
not show up in the .po file any more!
