Yeah, when I considered it a bit more I figured that would've been better
too. Though putting msg_id into the i18n namespace probably isn't 
useful here. It makes sense that any element with text content will
have an optional msg_id attribute. That makes it very similar in
semantics to the [] thing, but it's far more easy to deal with
from an XML tools perspective. (plus the rule that text content being 
human-visible makes easier reading of the XML, I suspect).
