The current API takes the point of view that whoever is calling into it has
administrative rights.

fact 1 : resource bundle is useful for i18nizing applications and stuff related to
deployment life cycle (like a portlet that contain property bundle in a war file)
fact 2 : until now we provide only one label for navigation (and other stuff too like page
title) and perform a #{} resolution
consequence of 1+2 : it is not possible to add i18nized navigations at runtime without
modifying a bundle (i.e ask a sysadmin to modify the server)
now there are two modes for i18nizing a navigation:
1/ simple mode (which is what was used until now)
2/ extended mode that uses data inline of the navigation XML and can be fully i18nized at
runtime
so both mode should be available from the API on the long term.
I have no idea on this… :/
