It's not a stupid comment. They are both allowed. The question being discussed is how the server should discover the primary language of an HTML document, in order to put this information in the HTTP header. For a reason I haven't yet understood, Tomas considers that the server should take this information from inside the HTML document. Others, including me, suggest that this information belongs outside the document, eg in the file name: home.fr.html home.de.html home.zh-cn.html That is what has to be done for other files, such as images, eg: go-home.fr.gif go-home.de.gif go-home.zh-cn.gif I don't understand why HTML files should be treated differently. Tomas, please explain. Misha
