If a dark art is one that involves combinatorial degrees of complexity mixed with human perception, judgment and emotion, then I fear that I18N *is* a dark art. We can perhaps manage such complexity by limiting the scope of what we try to do in our protocols, but I for one would very much appreciate having an I18N directorate reviewing everything. Brian
