I'm going to start going through and cleaning up some of the  
translations immediately, hoping that they'll make it into 5.2, but I  
won't be able to dedicate much time to it right now.  Early 2006 I  
should be able to put some of my time towards really cleaning up the  
English for the en_US message catalog, though.  Which brings up a  
question:  Should we also be updating the keys for the catalog (which  
is to say, the msgid strings) to reflect the changes I make, or  
should we leave those as-is (which would mean that they wouldn't be  
in sync with any of the translations)?

I'd also like to make the XHTML templates as barren and structural as  
possible, leaving *all* style definitions to the stylesheet(s).  The  
easier it is to restyle it to get the look you need, the less work  
people will have to put out to do so.  Does this sound like a good  
idea?  A bad one?

Thanks,
Jeff
