Agreed, we want to do this, but it's a long term goal at this point, not
a short term one.  We have to make it work in the USA first.  We'll be
careful not to make any design decisions that would preclude
internationalization, but if we make a mistake, please keep an eye on
it, and tell us if we're making such a mistake. :)

Indeed.  I'm concerned that many of the codebases out there are somewhat
specific to given countries, which sort of indicates that using
a base engine that isn't would be a good idea.
