The API is synchronous so that seems like a bad idea.
As in, it'll cause the tab to freeze (one time only, when a new language
is called for) while the file is downloading? OK, that's bad, but so is
having Firefox be a lot bigger...
Perhaps, as Brian suggested, we should be looking at using the Windows
APIs and/or system ICU for some of this data, even if there are some
things for which we want to ship our own implementation.

We'll need to go down a path that works for Firefox OS.
I think that being less-than-great at the first time you hit something
off the main track is OK. We should see what actually happens with
what's in the g18n apis now.
We'll likely also need a way to free excessive use of disk space, or DOS
attacks by sneaking up little fragments of language content for 200
languages or somesuch.
But, yes, I think we'll need a hosted service to provide that data on
demand in the end.
