I didn't mention that it's possible not to translate cross-references to
untranslated nodes, in this case you don't have to define empty nodes.
You can even decide to translate only a part of the cross-references to
untranslated nodes, but then this is up to you to manage this mess.  By
thr way, check-xrefs and fix-xrefs targets are currently broken for
translations, I'll look at fix the script ASAP.

Yes, the PO file will continue to exist.

This is up to your judgement; if you want to do so, the makefiles
already support it.  There are lots to do on English docs too, which you
might consider contributing to depending on your interest.

He did that once, but as Francisco pointed this is not needed thanks to
check-translation, and it might disturb some readers, so we decided not
to do it any more.

I don't know, maybe this is another bug caused by changes in recent
Texi2THML; I still have Texinfo 1.82 on my machine, I'll update it from
CVS.

Yes, thanks to Nabble: http://lists.lilynet.net/translations/
