Output is already localised anyway, using the wiki language in the Factbox and 
the user language in Special:Browse etc. It is technically not possible 
(without much added processing effort) to localise page contents to user 
settings, since the wiki page is cached for all users.

Do you mean we should support input of the form "2008-W41"?

Looks like a good idea, though I am not quite sure yet how the query (tabular) 
result maps to a menu tree. Making formats does not require much code and 
just a single file (e.g. the table-format code in SMW_QP_Table.php is just 70 
lines). Formats that are based on other extensions are welcome too, our new 
SMW extension package SemanticResultFormats is a good way for distributing 
these.
