I don't ask that it go away, only that people stop ranting about it, because 
ranting about the importance of i18n is not actually contributing to the 
progress of the discussion. We've already seen a good list of desiderata 
which included language related issues. Specifically, Keith Moore raised the 
following points.

- Users want to be able to exchange mail in any language that they can
  read and write

- Users want to be able to spell their own email addresses in their
  native languages

- Users want their email addresses to be memorable and transcribable
  by recipients (who may use a language other than the sender's 
  native language)

If you feel there are any major i18n issues not addressed in these points, 
then by all means add them.
