There is a Google Summer of Code intern working on major modification
to the GUI, so your patch may well not be valid and/or relevant soon.
You may wish to wait.

If you wish to submit it anyway, you can do so at
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=103&atid=300103>

I think it should be a template, defaulting to an empty file or perhaps
a file with an HTML comment documenting what it's for, and accessed
via Utils.maketext(). How else would you address i18n issues in a
multilingual site?

No opinion.
