[Localization] [Proposal] .xot bundles, for translations

[C. Scott Ananian]

Re: Scratch & etoys:  the problem with updating translations "in
place" is that it doesn't support distributed work on translations:
OLPC might do basic translations; they might be further developed in a
country or region, etc.  Each might be updated individually.

Further, you want to be able to back out changes, in order to protect
against getting malicious "translations" from a friend.  Uninstalling
a language bundle gives you that, un-merging changes to a shared
in-place translation file is... more difficult.
