I glanced over this, and noticed that you don't take translation into
account.  As it is, "automatic" substitution would work better, but we
should probably use much more of the available features in the same
way (eg. <guimenuitem>s could be read from translated MO/PO files for
the applications themselves). 

I am just saying this is not an easy problem to solve, and while we
all prefer simplicity, l10n stylesheets in g-d-u illustrate that we
can't get everything we want without becoming complex :)


Cheers,
