Marketing by geography is exactly my point. I might have problems in
writing in English, which is not my native language, but I do not think
that my message could be interpreted in a different way.

So, localization and documentation will be by language (exactly as the
OOo project), while marketing will be by geography. Of course, one will
be able to use manuals written in another country in the same language,
while I wonder if the same could happen with presentation (apart from
product presentations).
