Thanks for listening! (I'm assuming some relevant Google folk will be passing by here.)
A personal qualification: I may be unusual, but my personal concern (as opposed to professional needs) is use by tools such as the Firefox Babelfish extension.
At times, I spend significant time in communities speaking any number of languages. Being able to drag-to-translate various items, pretty much instantaneously (and without forcing the entire page through a single translation), makes participation fluid. It also props up my sometimes dormant, if not non-existent, understanding of those languages.
I hope there is room within the new model to support this, at reasonable cost, whether through being simultaneously signed in to a Google account (hopefully with adequate security filtering for the submitted fragments), or other means.
I can't help thinking there's also an educational aspect to similar scenarios. Always good for a little PR!
P.S. As long as I'm asking, how about HTTPS support?
