The change I just pushed this change to comm-central contains changes to a
couple of l10n values, but the keys are numeric and can't be updated. Remember
to update your locale. http://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/index.cgi/rev/85e0d5daeb83

Wheep. Mind filing a bug that makes them independent? Numbers as keys
are generally bugs, those entities should get semantic names.

Thanks

Is that actually a good idea? I don't have a good way to count
offhand, but I see 17 .properties files in mail/ that include "1=",
and a couple that I looked at had 60-70 strings. Say those were the
big ones, and it's really only 500 strings, that's still 1000 for
every existing locale to change, since it's all going to be things
where suite/ has a nearly-identical file.

We can do automated rewrites for l10n, all hail the Gods of Silme. All
it takes is a known mapping, and some python hackery.
