XML standards for I18N?

Hi,

some threads above Gerald Aichholzer mentioned an article he found about 
XLIFF (XML Localisation Interchange File Format) at 
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-localis/.

XLIFF seems to translate documents that already contain 
language-specific data. That means everytime a user does not use the 
standard language I'd have to throw away my standard-data and replace 
them with the other data.

Isn't this a bit too much work? I solve it like this:
In the first step some component generates XML data without any 
language- or display-specific content. In the second step I want to add 
the specialized content. In the third step I want to create the GUI code 
(HTML, WML, whatever).

What I want to know is if you know about any standards for I18N via XML, 
or any good techniques proven in practice.

Greetings,

Sebastian
