I welcome the idea but I'd rather see this approached from the id-tagging-schema side. One of the biggest issues with the current label system in openstreetmap-website is that it is deeply embedded into the website code. This makes it impossible to reuse all the translation work that was done in other projects. If we switch the system, I'd rather see us go for a more generalist approach:

Create supporting libraries (available at least as javascript and ruby implementation, ideally more) that can create localized labels for OSM objects from the id-tagging-schema data. Then just use the library here in openstreetmap-website. This would open up the system to many projects and maybe also bring in more contributors to maintain the code.
