Mmm ... maybe.  I think those of us who are native English speakers
may overrate the intelligibility of SQL keywords to those who aren't.
So I'm inclined to feel that preserving translatability of the
role property descriptions is a good thing.  But it'd be good to
hear comments on that point from people who actually use it.
