Great!
Use messages.properties.<LANGUAGE>.xml to generate language specific  
messages.

xpath-default-namespace="http://www.w3.org/2007/05/moki" sets the  
default namespace, so I used this namespace to keep the XPath in the  
msgI18n function easy as possible.
If a new namespace is needed, we can change the function.
