I think unless we have a full solution to the I18N problem there is
no point in wasting time on half measures which may need to be redone
when we settle on a final solution.
Present me with a solution that includes how to do I18N for the view
templates (without making them unreadable) as well as for the tiny
amount of text output directly by the controllers and I will be a very
happy bunny.
As it stands I think this is a waste of time.
