=2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Well there is a fundamental issue between l10n and i18n and that is in thei= r=20 names : l10n stands for localiz(s)ation and i18n stands for=20 internationaliz(s)ation. I hope the names are sufficient for signifying wha= t=20 purposes they are for. The brackets denote only the alternate forms of=20 expressing this and hence their universal name's significance. Maybe we cou= ld=20 have saved ourself some major embaresment. Anyway it was all for a good=20 reason.
