Seems to me this is an OO-specific extension to the PO format. Bug #6034 describes a more standard way of achieving this which we're planning to support. Perhaps rather than supporting the OO extension, we could write a tool to convert the PO files to standard form and back again, since I think we're going to need to do OO conversions by hand anyway. Perhaps the OO people should be told about msgctxt so that they can adopt it when appropriate.
