Do you confirm RSF i18n does not have an i18n debug mode like 
ResourceLoader has? Do you confirm adding a en_US_DEBUG properties file 
would make it work like ResourceLoader does when the locale is set to 
en_US_DEBUG?

Do you mean RSF does not have the feature ResourceLoader has with 
getFormattedMessage()?
