ignore i18n: in the same way as tal:

It would be "way cool" if I could do:

<i18n:x name="fish"/>

...in the same way I can do:

<tal:x repalce="fish"/>

...and not have the i18n tag in the output...

It apparently already works this way :-)

Well, by the looks of it, tags which contain only an i18n:name work this way, but show up in the output if they include any othe attribute, including those from the tal: namespace.

Changes: edited transcript, new comment

http://zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1551 is related to this, and I believe explains more about why i18n:name behaves like it does.
That makes this a bug, not a feature request.
Where in the ZPT process is i18n: handled and how is i18n:name handled that's different to this?

[Florent Guillaume (efge)]

Testcase mentionned in 1551 is:

ZPT source:
---
 <span i18n:translate="foo">
   <b i18n:name="bar">test 1</b>
   <b i18n:name="baz" tal:content="default">test 2</b>
 </span>
---

HTML output:
---
 <span>
   test 1
   <b>test 2</b>
 </span>
---

And I agree it's not logical.
