I don't know of any official plan, but the intl extension is a pretty
thin wrapper around ICU, so I'd suggest looking at ICU's resource
system pretty closely.

Note that XLIFF and TMX don't come into the picture because those are
data interchange formats for translation software, not string resource
formats for programs.
