I've been thinking about this one - and the more I do, the more I
agree.

The problem isn't creating translated versions of the attributes
- the problem is creating translated versions of everything else
and managing how that all fits together.

I think at some point the documentation needs to be reviewed
and part of that should be internationalisation (i18n) - but
it doesn't sound like that time is now.

Also - bolting a translation system onto the current (:-)!)
defaults.xml will take very little retrofitting and reworking
so it doesn't need to be specially taken into account.

I vote we do the first step and get a basic defaults.xml
up - small steps!
