This would work fine for hard coded texts in the pages (e.g. the
jsp-editors do something similar, but without a tag). But for
database-content, I don't really see how this could be useful.  I
think the actual value of the field must serve as default and 'source'
of the translation, and that translations must be stored elsewhere
(the key obvisouely can be the nodenumber/field combination).

Perhaps translations must even be solved closer to the core, a bit
like icaches, and perhaps the bridge must pass its locale to a
getValue(field, locale) of the core.
