Looks like a pretty common practice indeed (and It's also obvious when I just look at software I'm using).
I also agree that it simply does not make sense to decide a rule for all languages. All languages have different rules, that's just how it is so there is no point in fighting it. There should a written rule for English that we follow and translators should decide some other rules language by language and documented on http://l10n.xwiki.org (and by the way they dud not waited for this discussion to do it).
