+1 for me. This seems really clean, and won't break anything if that  
file is missing.

Maybe the optional file can be something like:

<lang:en_EN>
[...] the usual plugin header, translated
</lang>

<lang:it_IT>
<lang>

This way will be really easy to parse re-using the same function, just  
after identifying the right language, and so the right language  
block.... At least, it sounds good to me :-)
