Hi there,
just wanted to give a quick pointer to a discussion on the rails-i18n list. Please skip the first two posts since for some reason two threads got mixed up.

Sven and co are definitely the ones to answer a question like this, I'll definitely defer to their judgement.
However as we've shipped a stable release with these formats, it's highly unlikely to change unless there's a really really compelling reason.
I agree.
Will answer over there. Thanks for nudging!
Sven
