Ok, great. You've identified one programmer who thinks about
internationalization. Not much of a compelling argument there.

However, I think you missed my point. My point wasn't that people like
Guido don't think of these topics. It's that the people in the
trenches who use these tools don't think about these topics. How many
of your co-workers actively think about internationalization and
accessibility? I'm guessing none, but maybe you're lucking and work in
a particularly enlightened team. I've perhaps worked closely with a
few hundred programmers in my career, and very few of them thought of
these subjects. In my experience it's just not something the
programmer in the trenches thinks about. That is the point I was
trying to make.
