I would like to see each document placed in its own *directory*, with
a subdir under there for each translation...
/howto/docbook/EN/i18n-HOWTO.sgml
/howto/docbook/ES/i18n-HOWTO.sgml
/howto/docbook/FR/i18n-HOWTO.sgml
/howto/docbook/DE/i18n-HOWTO.sgml
I have my own reason for this, which is that having a separate dir for
each document will make securing an author's cvs access easier for
Lampadas. It only has to know the directory, and can infer from that
what translations are available programmatically. It is always better
to do things programmatically if you can.
