[Rails] making rails even sexier

The designers that a lot of the rest of the world works with aren't
the same caliber as 37 signals by a long shot.  Dreamweaver expert
does not likely yield a decent ruby/rhtml coder...

I think some simple JSTL style tags wouldn't hurt anyone.  I imagine
the rails community would be excited to get transparent i18n support
from a <fmt> style tag rather than put code to look up some sort of
localized message bundle on every page.
