Hmmm, you're probably right. There's no earthly reason for a test writer to create an instance of LocalizedTestCase, it has no use except as a superclass by its nature even though it has no abstract methods. So making it abstract will server to flag that fact to anyone who tries to instantiate it.
I'll change this too, hold off on applying this patch, I'll wait for a bit to gather more comments and put them all together in an r3 version.
