Yes that would be fine, also the way Apache does it for content neg /
multiviews would be OK:

  index.html.el
  index.html.en
  index.html.es
  index.html.fr

Though the disadvantage of this is that in some editors (vim) you
then have to set the syntax highlighting to HTML because it sees the
file type as .en or whatever.

On the subject of content neg / multiviews -- perhaps this is
somethin we would want to do for languages, based on the browsers
preferences?

Hmmm, can they come from pangloss, can it eat it's own dog food as
it were...?
