From time to time I get the opportunity to answer questions like "Why mark stuff as in Maori? Almost nobody can read it, anyway." http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ig/2001AprJun/thread.html#709 In a rapid glance over the Internationalization home page at W3C I found lots on 'how' to internationalize the Web but I didn't instantly stumble on the story 'why' that I could cite. Some brief and pungent explanation of how "Without i18n, we can just drop the first two W's in WWW" would be handy for those of us conversing with those who don't have the intercultural experience to "get it" without a little light explanation.
