Yes, I see the approach, but while I don't want to give away the
advantages of Java message bundles, I think the XSLT would be more
useful if it could be run independently of the framework. E.g. if
someone decided to generate a moki document, they could then run the
tests in turn by calling them from an XSLT, rather than from the
framework.
