I agreed with you before. :) When you know for sure that it can't block, you
should have a synchronous API. Something like:
var g11n = Object.system.loaded["@g11n"];

Re: Globlization and Object.system.load
We intend to have a synchronous API for accessing the built-in modules (those
beginning with "@" in their URL), as well as a synchronous way to access
modules that have already been loaded. This went by briefly in July:
https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/es-discuss/2011-July/015929.html
I'm behind in work on fleshing out the API. I'll get back on this ASAP and
update the list.

I guess I was wrong about the minimum code. The minimum code is
something like this:
Object.system.load("@g11n", function (g11n) {
// put all the code that uses g11n in here
});
I actually like this. I think I should just take back my comment...

Re: Globlization and Object.system.load
I didn't make up load from whole cloth, there's a proposal at
http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:module_loaders
Module people should weigh in.
