No. _All_ user-visible strings are to be enclosed in i18n() calls! If you 
introduce some "soft" rule with exceptions you risk error. What if some 
developer not knowing enough about i18n() sees this string, changes it and 
forgets to re-add the i18n()? The string would be untranslated in all 
languages (except en_US:)!

So don't even think about changing the rule: All user-visible strings are to 
be enclosed in i18n()-calls!
