Before this one goes where it shouldn't be, I addressed adding 
paragraphs etc. not as a problem from old to new versions, but simply 
from the original to the translated documents. I believe that if you 
want to go the PO-way, then the translator shouldn't be allowed to 
introduce new major tags. Well, at least IMO! :-)
