Absolutely. That's a well known fact.

Note, however, that internationalization and customization
are different beasts: i18n needs to be concerned mainly with
configurability of *functionality* while customization is
mainly concerned with configurability of *appearance*.

See, this is why my plan was/is to eventually base the
formatting on templates, for example HTML. There would be
placeholders (pray tell, just like in forms) which the
client knows how to provide data for and the user can write
an HTML template containing those placeholders with any
formatting they see fit.

It's not even that complicated, technically (but post-0.4
material for sure).
