Thanks for tracking that down.

Sounds good.  But, considering that there is interest in an
enhanced-for-translation format and XML is soooo malleable, what if we
went the other way: create an XMLResourceBundle that the stock Java
can just use without touching existing code?  Properties.loadFromXML()
could do most of the work, if we define it conformably with the
Properties DTD.

That is: find or invent a namespace containing elements that
translation support facilities can use for all the things that
translators want to do but aren't relevant to the code that uses their
work, and overlay it on the Cocoon format or something like it.  If we
do it right, we can give that to the translation community and not have
to maintain it.  Or probably there is already something we can readily
transform to/from the forms we need.
