What an excellent idea! However, we would probably have to set up user 
preferences a bit differently -- perhaps have options on which namespaces 
and/or languages to display in RecentChanges. If we do this craziness, then 
we should probably set the default NOT to show meta:namespace or its 
equivalent  ("meta" is not very intuitive for me, and I'm not sure if it is 
the best name for the function it will serve) or any other languages beyond 
the user's/visitor's native one (which can be determined by them choosing 
their language on the Main Page).
