The workflow is, for now, out of the scope of this project, we assume developers will figure how to produce a javascript object that contains key=value pairs, where each value is a message written in ICU message syntax, and where values are feed into the template engine for helpers/methods to use them.

Internally at Yahoo (just like facebook, and other big companies), we have an infrastructure for translation that works based on a source file written in english by developers, and the whole thing just work. But we have no plans to open up any of that. We believe, such system will grow from the community once people realize that ICU is good enough to internationalize their apps.

As for moment.js, you're right, if you will never need to parse a date, or massage a date value, and the only thing you care about is to format a timestamp that is coming from an API, then `formatRelative` helper should be good enough.
