It would be nice to have all the advantages of TT, but I am also worried that
it will make it harder for libraries to change the notices themselves. It
currently works quite well, although we have some placeholders that are not
well known or not very consistent (<items> vs. <<items.content>> vs. ---- etc.)
and need explaining.

I looked at the changes on bug 15280 and that looked not too bad. I think key
is to have better documentation to explain the change and make it easier to see
which variables can be used where and what additional features this will make
available.

I'd be interested to see how this change will affect the editor - no patch
there yet on bug 15277, maybe a screenshot?
