We build applications on top of CMFCore (we see as a very
efficient framework -- thank you) but without CMFDefault.
(we see as a rather pure portal implementation).

Of course, messages emanating from CMFCore should be
internationalized.

If would be nice if the message catalog translating
CMFCore term were independent from the (probably much larger)
CMFDefault catalog. Especially, we would like to continue to deploy
our application without a need to include the CMFDefault product.

If this does not interfere with giving CMFCore the domain
"cmf_default", then I do not have objections to use this
domain for "CMFCore" as well.

Can you nevertheless have a small message catalog for CMFCore
terms and another one for CMFDefault?
