I think we should definitely separate out the schemas strings, because they are guarantied not to be very user visible and because it can be done solely on our side and automatic.
When it comes to error messages I think we should not. I quite simply do not think it is worth the effort the developers will have to put in it and I don't think it is actually possible to implement. Please consider, that this is not just about a one time "run through the code" kind of thing. Main developers will also have to keep this all in mind when reviewing future patches and so on. Then try to remember that even now, we have some guidelines for how developers should internationalize their strings (don't split sentences and do not make parantheses (s) plural endings and that sort of thing), and even those rules are not followed some times. And I do not think it is a matter of developers not wanting to, but simply that it is a lot of work to learn and implement all the rules. I do not think that the improvement that we might have from this warrants us adding to that complexity. AND besides all the above, this work it will also depend on us being able to _define_ which error messages should be marked in which way and us communicating that definition to developers. It will be a world of pain and is not worth it.
