Not really strong. The main reason is performance (multiviews is slow on large directories) and a real possibility to get forward/backwards compatible URLs. For example, we may decide some day to split the languages *really* into different directories. That's not possible with multiviews. But with typemaps no problem. > 1. there are more files in the docs tree to manage; > 2. for every new translated xml, say bind.xml.zh-cn, bind.html must be > modified; The files are automatically maintained with build metafiles :-) > 3. administrator who is providing the manual docs on his website must adjust > server config. hmm, I don't buy that argument. The documentation is alive. But however, the default config is distributed with a full-working and safe documentation configuration. It's just a c&p job (in the worst case). nd --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
