Au contraire! I apologize for the somewhat sarcastic tone of some of my 
previous posts, but I'm actually entirely sympathetic to the notion of 
being i18n compatible. It's just that it strikes me you should be 
discovering some of these issues *before* committing rather than after.

Just as a general point of illumination, the template-compiler ANT task 
(org.bodington.ant.TemplateBuilderTask) now supports the boolean 
'failonerror' attribute (making it more consistent with complementary 
tasks such as Javac and JspC). By default this is true. Therefore, where 
a broken template is template no. 300 of 500, the following 199 are not 
even looked at. The whole build will fail as soon as a template contains 
'unrecoverable errors'. Setting failonerror to 'false' means the build 
continues. If any templates contain unrecoverable errors then a warning 
message is written to the console saying how many fell into this category.

P.S. Of course, the other alternative as the task is now an implicit 
FileSet is to do something like the following :-)

<template-compiler ... >
	<include name="**/*.html" />
	<exclude name="**/templateGivingYouAgro.html" />
</template-compiler>
