A colleague of mine noticed the way they provide key-value pairs (most likely also for their https://github.com/airbnb/polyglot.js) but oddly doing so via "<meta content=". There is also application settings in there.

- More comfortable to access via the DOM?
- SEO (but why config settings?)
- Caching
