To rehash quickly, the Sphinx Natural Language Support project actually spans two very different aspects:
Since I’d Gone This Far, I Might As Well Turn Around
Extracting messages from Sphinx is fairly easy. Apart from the occasional obstacle here and there when dealing with non-plain text such as directives the machinery already in place makes it a straight-forward task. But collecting messages from documents is only half the battle in implementing Native Language Support for Sphinx — they also need to [...]

I touched on message granularity in my proposal already and nailed down a pragmatic policy in my prototype: messages are basically split on a per-paragraph level. Inline markup is explicitly atomic and never propagated to a sole message.
It’s alive, it’s moving, IT’S ALIVE!
I have pushed an early prototype of a PO builder — boldly called MessageCatalogBuilder — to Sphinx.
