I'm an internationalisation philistine (Italian has only 21 letters in
its alphabet, I guess I'll never grow out of that mold), but thank you
for the useful snippet.

Here are a couple of heresies I indulge in:

	- Capital letters should be part of a different font.
	- Internationalisation should occur exclusively in the
	  presentation layer (rio?).

I guess they are not that outlandish, really.  Does anyone have
similar suggestions?
