 Otto --

 Okay. Agreed. Not on its own worth breaking translations over.  :)

 Something to think about for down the road -- whenever this does happen...

 WordPress *is* primarily a blog platform, and that is the way it is
 billed.  Instead of changing the word "blog" to something else, perhaps we
 could simply add in a hook to allow a theme or plugin to change the word
 throughout.  Thus WordPress remains primarily blog software, but if used
 for something else can easily be altered.

 Some things can simply be changed -- "Blog URL" etc. should probably just
 be changed to "Site URL" or something else more generic; but in other
 places (posts etc.) a hook to change "Blog" to, say, "News" or whatever
 might be a good idea.
