But po4a can't think so, since po4a can't understand ISO XML entity:
http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/xml-ISOents.txt
I think that would be too complex to support this.
I'm not sure it would solve completely your problem, which is caused by
using different source files for po4a-updatepo and po4a-translate.
It could be useful to ease the reuse of translations, but the effort and
impact on performances might be too high.

I have many source xml, book.xml include those xmls use external entity.
I can use '-o includeexternal' for issue a po4a-updatepo command only.
But when I run 'po4a-translate', what's the recommanded method?
I must run po4a-updatepo for every source xml. If I run po4a-updatepo
to the pretreatment result[1], I run into ISO xml entity issues with po4a.
If you run
po4a-updatepo -f docbook -o includeexternal -m en/source/book.xml -p l.po
Then you should run
po4a-translate -f docbook -o includeexternal -m en/source/book.xml -p l.po -l l.xml
Doesn't it work?
If you wan to use xmllint (but I don't recommend it), then you should run
po4a-updatepo on the normalized file (output of xmllint). Otherwise you
will have more problems than ISO entities (for example issues with spaces)
