I don't see the issue, what prevents you from doing this?

Nothing prevents me from doing it. It's just that 6 potential function
calls instead of 1 or 2 seems like a hassle to write out every time.
So instead of doing this (in the simple case with no replacement
necessary):
StopAlert (kDescriptive_ALRT_ID, NULL);
I now have to do this:
NSRunAlertPanel(NSLocalizedString(@"I wish I got paid by the character
to program, but I don't", @"What is this unused comment for again?"),
NSLocalizedString(@"Now the somewhat descriptive message", @"And
another unused comment here"), nil, nil, nil);
I'd rather read my version than yours. Don't get me wrong, I like the
localized string mechanism in general. I just think it's way overkill
for this. But if that's the standard way to do it, I'll do it that > way.
Hum, then maybe one workaround can be to write a Macro around
NSRunAlertPanel.
