 ## BUGS
 
-libremessages sets <TEXTDOMAIN> to `libretools` unconditionally,
-making it generally unsuitable for use outside of libretools.  If you
-override <TEXTDOMAIN> after loading the library, that should work, but
-you will also have to provide translations for libremessage's internal
-messages (such as "ERROR" or "Warning").
-
 Generating `.pot` files for the prose functions is a pain.  The
 libretools Makefiles have rules to do it, but it might make sense to
 pull it into a separate program.
