 Hmmm, is it enough that an item (label and URL) can be overridden
 accordingly?  I think localization can be archived using language-independent
 navigation.xml and optional, localized one (not that the localized
 one should be removed completely).  The localized one is used to override
 items in the language-independent one, so two of the $base are different from
 each other (resolved independently) and no broken link can appear; it
 should likely a link to an English contents.

 If using the localized one only, modification to includes.misc.xsl easily
 breaks the build.  This is what I learned from the advisories.xml case.

 No problem.  This simply looks up both of en/news/news.xml and
 <lang>/news/news.xml, and an item in the English version is overridden
 if the translation is available.  If no translation is available, the English
 item is used as it is.  It should not break the current structure, and this way
 can be applied to navigation.xml.
