It is really time there was more I18n stuff in Jabber. Most important
is stuff like the "help" text supplied by iq:register, or the text
used in iq:gateway.
I think we should standarize an attribute that can carry a locale, in
this wonderfuly normed format, e.g. I could use de_DE. This would be
used in various places:
* in <presence> to indicate the prefered locale of the client.
* in <iq> to indicate the desired locale for e.g. iq:register / iq:gateway
* possibly even for <message> to denote the language a give message
was written in, although i fail right now to see much purpose behind
this (well maybe if we couple it with automatic translation :)
GC would also take advantage of this to locaize messages like "foo is
now known as bar" or "quux has changed the subject to Test".
