Rob Church, please calm down. It's not good to edit war over software, because unlike Wikis, you can't tack on a "Disputed" tag. ;-)
The internationalization is quite welcome, but perhaps the extension developers should agree on a I18N scheme and mandate it for all extensions? (Or, even better, have a lead developer lay down the law of the land.)
Looking at the code, I do somewhat agree with Church's assertion. Ideally speaking, messages should only be parsed (and defined) when they are needed. However, they really shouldn't pollute the global namespace (although I'm not precisely sure how you would get around that. The MediaWiki core messages are also added to the global namespace.)
