I am not quite sure of what you mean by 'binding them together'.
You may find that http://aut.dyndns.org/webl10n/ (both the slides
and the paper) to be helpful; it defines a L10n framework based on
Locale::Maketext::Lexicon and discusses some of the use cases.

I do believe that the function call-style syntax allowed by Maketext
(and Maketext-Lexicon) can already encapsuate all your needs about
currency, number, datetime etc, by writing language-specific wrapper
functions.  I'm not sure whether it's good or not, if we have a standard
set of such language wrappers...
