we've discussed it already and agreed on waiting for Matej to come up with a first draft to proof that the idea works, and it obviously does very well.
But I guess I'm the only one, who thinks there must be a better solution. I guess the reason why I'm not especially keen on the idea is because it'll allow users to insert not only text but basically everything (html, javascript, etc.) in there. You may use it for localizing text, but you can basically use it for several more. It is not limited to attributes or tag, not even to (x)html. It is a templating engine providing the markup to wicket. You can do includes, you can convert from XUL to HTML (just an example, not sure this is realy possible). I do like the templating approach as part of that larger picture (templating engine providing markup or the commons virtual file system providing the markup), and yes it does provide a means for localization as well. It'll than be one of several approaches for localization (depending on the reqs one might fit better than another). Localization is a very important topic and I believe Wicket should have a wicket-like solution without the need for a syntax like $(xxx.yy) which feels (just my gutt feeling) like a debris (looked it up in a dictionary: foreign body) in the wicket context.
