Right, so that's not a bad thing but the _xlate() naming is confusing -
Lars' point was that if a function is called _xlate() it would usually
be an operation used as part of DT parsing, not something called from
non-DT code.  The new interface is probably a good thing but needs a
different name (perhaps _simple or something?) or we need to rename the
old one out of the way (it's slightly less flexible so we probably don't
want to remove it totally).

This is a good goal.
