First, I fail to see why this can't be handled entirely in a book names 
locale file.  Is there a problem with the apostrophe?

But also, I don't think this is an issue at all for either the library in 
its current framework or for locales.  Locales are language-specific.  
This issue is translation-specific.  If we an option for texts to 
self-specify book names, this would come in to the picture, but we don't 
have that now.  I don't think anyone sees this as a priority either, 
especially for a book we can't distribute.
