One of the main complaints about the i18n module is that it duplicates the entire node, so take a blog post for example, if one wrote an English blog post node/1 and then translate it to French node/2, they cannot share comments.

Wouldn't it make more sense to duplicate all the CCK fields within a node, and label these sets of CCK fields "English" or "French"? Then a node is a node, only the fields are labeled with different localized languages.

Will i18n head toward this direction?
