Which po4a commands are you talking?

  po4a-normalize
  msguntypot
  po4a-gettextize
  po4a-updatepo
  po4a
  po4aman-display-po
  po4a-translate

I found use of 
 po4a-gettextize
 po4a-translate
together with following in Makefile
 msgmerge --update --previous
was best.

You mean
 single docname.pot file created by po4a-gettextize
 single docname.XX.po file for each language but for all XML files.

Use of po4a-updatepo updates po file for each language causes
docname.pot equivalent file to be generated as temp file repeatedly and
waists resources as I understand.  (I see release note use
po4a-updatepo).

Not really.  We just have to decides source line number etc.

You mean:
 - allow to move 1 paragraph to another page without manual efforts

I agree.
