<i18n> is now gone from the templates. I got better optimisation by 
putting resoource-file in the root <template> node

Is it possible to have some resources shared throughout the whole of 
Bodington?

Things like Yes/No will probably be used on tens of pages and so having 
to translate them several times doesn't seem optimal.

very good point and one I'm working on. When you specify resource-file, 
perhaps it will be a comma separated list of ResourceBundle classes 
(properties). I'm open to suggestions, as ever, on this.

The Localiser will aggregate multiple ResourceBundles so the <localise 
id="blah.blah" /> in the templates won't have to bother with which 
bundle that particular string is in.

Hadn't really given it much thought, just wanted to flag it really.

 From a quick look at the JavaDoc it seems that ResourceBundles can have 
parents which are also checked for the key.

Could we have a higher level file called:

res.templates

that is the parent of files like:

res.templates.default.useroptions.strings

and contains the generic strings?

That seems sensible.
