I don't think it would be useful, because 1. Developers who use gettext are likely to learn about the practice from the gettext doc and developers who don't use gettext have little need to know about the practice. 2. Documenting the practice in the standards would make sense if GNU were to mandate it for all packages. But creating such rule would bring little benefit and just cause nuisance. -- W.
