Sorry, we seem to be talking past each other.  If your suggestion is  
for Drupal core developers, then it needs to be in the form of an  
issue in the core queue to be useful, and your email to this list  
should include a link to that issue for interested parties (like I did  
with the issue about backporting the API documentation improvements to  
t()).  As an API change, your issue could only be for D7, and  
therefore, while helpful in the future, we'd still have this problem  
in D6 and D5 contrib.  Without a link to a core issue, it sounds like  
you're proposing a solution to this problem in contrib space, and I've  
been trying to reply to your suggestion as such.

Cheers,
