Rob, Some differences I see....
The commons-resources component does not include/encourage multilingual support as a goal. It simply abstracts the source for resources. I view the i18n code as being at a higher level than what's currently in commons-resources. The Factory's in i18n could be modified to make use of the different sources found in commons-resources. It may be necessary/useful to change some of the concrete object classes to interfaces, but those changes can come if/after it becomes a subproject. I had tried to see if I could make use of commons-resources within the code early this year, but it didn't solve the problem that I was trying to solve.
