Possibly.  I was thinking that the only thing that would be language
specific about each driver would be the comment section.

    <comment>...</comment>

All the other stuff is language independent.

That being the case, it wouldn't be too hard to do

    <commant lang="ja_JP.EUCjp">...</comment>

    <comment lang="es_ES.ISO_8859-1">...</comment>

and so on, would it?

Or does loading Japanese text in to a non-Japanese aware editor scramble
the text?
