true... but, as long as the xml is there, and i can see what

<fifty>Click here to generate your report</fifty> is, and correlate that
to the web page, then im good, right?  i get that it would be EASIER from
the code view to manipulate that... no doubt, but other than that, im
not sure it has any merit? right, or am i missing something here?

so you are suggesting, having a variable called
application.adminBundle, that has 2 structures (or three or however
many other languages/locales we have) that has one element for each
text position and for each language/locale and base their locale on a
cookie, that is read into a session var, and then string literal to
what the text reads reading the variable called adminBundle, into the
application scope during an "onApplicationStart" one time, which is
not as resource heavy as the session scope way of doing this?
