To clarify, this bug only happens when there is a space between the = and the ",
the white space at the end of tag, between the " and the / has no effect.

OK:      <xref linkend="foo" />

NOT OK:  <xref linkend= "foo"/>


This is actually a bug in the way the pot file is created, which is the xml2pot
command in the kdesdk.

e.g.

para in xml:

<para>To view vcpus using <command>virsh</command> refer to <xref linkend=
"form-Virtualization-Managing_guests_with_virsh-Displaying_virtual_CPU_information"/>
for more information.</para>

msgid in pot:

msgid ""
"To view vcpus using <command>virsh</command> refer to <xref linkend=\"form-"
"Virtualization-Managing_guests_with_virsh-Displaying_virtual_CPU_information"
"\"/> for more information."

NOTE: the space between linkend= and " has been removed in the pot.

This means when the PO file is merged with the XML file the msgid doesn't match
the XML and it can't resolve the msg.

Work around is to not have white space between the = and " in attributes.

Moving to kdesdk component for further consideration.
