It was my intention to describe the PO file format informally.

Yes.  The feature request is to add po.el to Emacs---is this possible?
The code is already disclaimed, since it's basically distributed with
GNU gettext and the algorithms ware invented by François and Bruno.

Then some updates (check list of available encodings) or minor fixes are
necessary (change encoding from UTF-8 to something else; UTF-8 is only
used for po.el because of 1 "ç" inside of a comment string).

When po.el is installed I'll help to test it.
