Well, the updated replies could be theoretically moved before this
patch, although it would be a bit weired since this patch needs to be
applied to generate them. And what's even worse, all the associated
changes in test XML files from patches 14 to 28 would need to be
squashed in this patch.

That said, I think the approach I chose is a smaller mess :-)
