Comment (by ryan):

 It is being proposed as core, yes.  I'll take a look at Gengo's RTL.  If
 it just does direction for posts, it is working at a smaller level than
 this proposal.  This proposal aims for full RTL themes.

 The permalink strings are not well-suited to gettext because they have to
 be permanent.  For existing blogs, suddenly having the permalinks change
 because they are not translated through gettext is bad.  Plus, some
 plugins like to do some locale switching that could cause permalink
 strings to change back-and-forth.  I have a proposal for handling i18n
 permalinks coming soon.  Not breaking existing blogs requires some
 gymnastics.

 The wp_locale singleton is instantiated after we
 load_default_textdomain().  load_default_textdomain() makes the first call
 to get_locale().  Both of these are called after plugins_loaded but before
 init.
