Not that I know of. We do have a portlet API that lets you define 
portlets, though, and you can render them to XML. That said, why are you 
using Jetspeed instead of Pluto (which gives you JSR 168)?

99% of the strings are now pulled into property files, i.e., if you 
encounter a string that's not globalized, that should be a bug. There 
are no localizations for Japanese or Korean available.

HTMLArea is now integrated. Other people just upload using whatever HTML 
editor they feel like.

The metadata for the above is stored in the database. There is no UI or 
API. I suspect, though, that if you want real branches and content 
versions, you're better off with a SCM system. How many users really 
want to understand the concept of branches and merging, and do you 
really have content structured such that multiple people might be 
working on different versions of the same piece of content ;-)?

Nope.
