This sounds like a good idea.  Is a doc freeze intended to help get
the docs translated ?  I suspect that will be rather late in the
game, possibly too late to be of use.  If we ignore getting screenshots
localized then ui/string freezes won't apply and the only constrain
would be feature freeze.  However, writing docs is a fairly time
consuming process.  How much time do you envision giving the docs
folk before freezing ?
