Along with CSS , I am also working on some parts of i18n, mainly to get it
working to ensure a site with it enabled is still valid. Apart from that
AFAIK it works, only that it is not implemented for the whole site, only
parts of it. David has hinted that this will be some time away before the
rest of it gets implemented, but the base of it will be there and working
and should not get in the way of a release.

(I just need the <i18n:text>penny to drop</text> and I'll have a patch
shortly!)
