The W3C has some good definitions of localization and
internationalization / globalization (which they treat as synonyms).
http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-i18n
Where "internationalization" and "globalization" are distinguished, it
is along the lines of what is in my "Globalization: Resistance is
Futile" paper (on http://www.macchiato.com).
