metal:content will *not work*...

   NAMESPACE

   Although this is not mandatory, Petal templates should include use the
   namespace http://purl.org/petal/1.0/. Example:

     <html xml:lang="en"
           lang="en"
           xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
           xmlns:tal="http://purl.org/petal/1.0/">

       Blah blah blah...
       Content of the file
       More blah blah...
    </html>

As for METAL, metal:define-slot and metal:fill-slot should work as of 2.07.

Also, i18n: is well on the way and should be there *very soon* :-)
