Well, and a quick'n'dirty solution in one software breaks lots of
other software. There is a certain nomenclatur which Christian
outlined, and while I'm only a translator (l10n, little in i18n) I'm
really troubled if we go down the path of breaking long standing
"standards" (Christian, is the nomenclature coded somewhere?) for
sloppy coding in some software.
