The idea is that each .xds.in file should be translated, allowing a
corresponding .xds file to be created.

Currently some of the xds files come from xds.in files; others are
simply untranslated.  

So I suppose that all of them should come .xds.in files...

The ones that come from a .xds.in should be translated, in particular
the DocBook one.  So it looks like there's a problem with this process
somewhere.
