I have a hard time seeing any advantages of such an approach, but please
prove me wrong.
When we introduce new terms, style authors should be confident that those
terms have translations in the locale files, and, AFAIK, none of the CSL
apps support automatic style updating, let alone locale updating. Just
dismissing that as being the problems of the implementations doesn't seem
like a workable short-term solution.
Uncoupling the addition of new terms from schema updates also doesn't solve
the current case where we add new terms for ordinals, since they require
new logic in the CSL processor.
