A few textual corrections, nothing major.

86 ↗(On Diff #31515)

I would stop the sentence after the {PREFIX}, to have less commas in a sentence (I love using commas myself, but the sentences get too long and difficult). Having smaller sentences helps to understand the two cases here.

87 ↗(On Diff #31515)

You would use "on the other hand" only if you previously wrote "on the one hand". I would replace it with "In the other case".

125 ↗(On Diff #31515)

here, I would just use "however" instead of "on the other hand".

A small nit, then it's perfect.

en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/special/chapter.xml
87 ↗(On Diff #31517)

It's "In the other case", not "On the other case".

88 ↗(On Diff #31517)

Here, I would not stop the sentence, just remove the commas and the sentence stop after the </filename>.

The full sentence should read:

In the other case, if one or both of the paths are outside of <filename>${PREFIX}</filename> use <command>${LN} -s</command> and only prepend <filename>${STAGEDIR}</filename> to the target's path.
