Sounds pretty reasonable to me. Couple thoughts:
I know that the Globalize plugin uses template.en-US.rhtml,
template.es-MX.rhtml, etc. To me this is preferable to
en-US/template.rhtml. That would lead to a lot of extra folders lying
about. Can we use a patch like this to enable this behavior? This is
a minor concern, but one I think others would raise too.
Should this be specified on an application-wide basis, or on a
request-by-request basis, perhaps mediated by before_filters?

Interesting idea, Kyle.
I think the best way to accomplish what you're suggesting is some way
of embedding a 'proc' in to the alternate path array. So, in
essence, while my patch would currently allow someone to do this:
ActionView.alternate_base_paths_before << RAILS_ROOT + '/special/
location'
We should enable people to use it like this also:
ActionView.alternate_base_paths_before << proc { |controller|
RAILS_ROOT + "/app/views/#{controller.language}/" }
This makes use of the folder method (instead of the filename method)
that you seemed to not prefer as much, but it would be a lot easier
to implement. As you suggested, the above method would rely on some
before_filter setting a cattr_attribute (such as :language) so that
our base path could be configured on a per-request basis.
