There is also no blueprint nor other discussion. This is the first time it's suggested, if I'm correct.
Including the documentation would indeed be impossible to do for all languages. This is also not what I had in mind. I think Ubuntu should try to include as many interface translations as possible to fulfil the promise the many languages you can choose from during the boot. Currently a lot of those choices don't have a lot of effect on the language of the interface.
