On the one hand, yes - thx for this huge work.
On the other hand it has been overshooting the mark since the principle 
we defined at T3UXW, which had been implemented already, now has been 
reverted again with this patch.

The rule for labels was to remove stuff like "enable" or "disable" 
completely and try to build sentences that describe what is going to 
happen, when the editor changes a selectbox or a checkbox.

It's not about the removal of the "double negation", which is a good 
thing, but about changing a combination like:

Include Subpages
[ ] Enable

to something more understandable like:

Inherit time and rights settings
[ ] on subpages

The second one clearly describes what is going to happen, while the 
first one does not. Additionally the second version makes it possible to 
have extension authors easily add checkboxes and labels to existing 
fields like this:

Editable for
[ ] Admins only
[ ] Chief Editors

instead of the current version

Editable for Admins only
[ ] Enabled

I expected the "Redefinition" to happen on a linguistic level, so that 
the native speakers make sure, that the sentence built by the modernized 
version makes sense. But what we got now is exactly the old school 
version again, which is not what we were aiming for according to these 
rules and descriptions:
http://forge.typo3.org/projects/typo3v4-tca_cleanup/wiki

I will post this to the typo3.translation.general list as well, to make 
sure that the translators will be aware of these results of the T3UXW. 
Follow up is set to typo3.translation.general so that we can discuss 
things there.

Cheers

Joey
