Yeah, I left i18n for later, and was actually considering getting rid of the 
language prefix in URL paths in favor of using HTTP Request's Accept-Language 
header to detect the user's preferred language and serve the localized 
resources in that language if available (similar to what happens with apps on 
the desktop). That looked like less work to me than [also] internationalizing 
the URLs, but maybe it is not a good practice? In any case, I'm planning to add 
i18n for version 0.2.0 and was hoping to ask Julien and Florian for advise 
about that...
