It sounds like a potentially interesting addition to contrib.humanize, but you have hit both of the objections that I would raise. The foreign language limitation is particularly important - if we're going to introduce a tag like this, then it should be able to be used for languages other than English. If you present some research to demonstrate how this tag could/would work for non-English languages, it would be a lot more compelling. Yours, Russ Magee %-)
