Just to add to the discussion, the french code has some particularity (as we often like to).

Essentially, the base is not "foobar", but "toto", wich is a first name for child used in jokes, and usually a very annoying and dumb child. Any french know some "histoires de toto" ("toto stories").

Since one word is never enough, you get a lot of derivative : "tata", "tutu", "titi", etc. which makes lines like : <xsl:call-template name="toto"> <xsl:with-param name="tata" select="2"/> </xsl:call-template>

Which makes things much more readable :-)

Just to add some more euros...
