Indeed. But outside the GNOME context, the "join" operation of itstool is often more useful than tha "merge" operation. Therefore, I've implemented the equivalent in msgfmt, through https://git.savan ... 3e51819b1501f6d7f .

I would suggest to keep this under XML, because it is basically about that msgfmt doesn't implement the "merge" operation of itstool, but only the "join" operation:

For an initial description field like that:

  <description>
    <p>paragraph1
    </p>
    <p>paragraph2
    </p>
  </description>

The result file generated by msgfmt is like that:

  <description>
    <p>paragraph1
    </p>
    <p xml:lang="fr">para1</p>
    <p>paragraph2
    </p>
    <p xml:lang="fr">para2</p>
  </description>

But as described here:
https://www.freed ... ag-ct-description
description should be translated "as a whole".
