Well, the NLS website does invoke the recipe. Just not manually.

I just meant it's not normally run manually. But if you do run it
manually, and you translate a file that has a few extra messages because
of the hypothetical junk source file, then you'll upload a catalog with
those extra messages; these extra messages will be dropped the next time
your file is merged through the NLS website. Maybe you'll do some extra
work (translating useless messages) but there'll be no harm.
