The fileref should read "images/using/stock-navigation-16.png":

	find xml/fr/images -name '*stock-navigation*'

You can't.

Ok, that's not true...

'xml2po' replaces <guiicon> (and <figure> etc.) tags always with 
<placeholder> tags. These <placeholder> tags seems to be quite useful, 
and they don't represent text.

The only way to get rid of them is to customize (patch) the xml2po 
program. For example, I have tried a simple patch to rename some of the 
placeholder tags to make the text more readable (figure-placeholder, 
guiicon-placeholder, etc.). Another patch tried to force 'xml2po' to 
output those nodes (if I remember correctly, this didn't work for nodes 
without content, though). But using the default xml2po program we can't 
do anything here.

Bye,
Ulf
