Agreed. When I first learned how localization/i18n was performed in
extensions, I laughed a little bit. It's like using a wrench to bang a
nail: it works, but it's not really the best tool nor was it really
designed for that.

It would be nice if there was some native support in the form of XUL
elements; e.g., referencing a hashmap (associative array) of name/value
pairs in XUL instead of the current method, but I won't hold my breath.
Clearly there are more important issues to tackle in the Mozilla world.
