The Internationalization Core Working Group has scheduled this item for discussion in our next teleconference, which will be Wednesday, 23 March, with a formal response to follow. This note is the result of Richard creating a tracker issue that we can use to track our WG response. It is not a request for the HTML WG to do anything. Sorry for any confusion.

Internationalization is not a feature.
It is an architecture.
