as far as I've understood you, this was the wish.

to retain the ability to visit the global website. Does that mean we
need an "en" or "en-US" subsite?

Yes, this is exactly what I was warning against for this whole thread...

Me too. ;-)

Well, the "en" subsite would break so many links that it is unfeasible
in practice.

Yes, totally out of scope.

The most feasible solution I see is that we add a "?redirect=ask" URL
fragment and Marcus' new code scans for it. So:
http://www.openoffice.org executes the hard redirect,
http://www.openoffice.org/?redirect=ask skips it, or better turns "hard"
redirects into a "soft" one; or we make all redirects soft...

A link like "w.oo.o/index.html?redirect=soft" and/or "?redirect=none" could be used for the en-US option when using the language drop-down box top right.

Then the redirect function can scan for this URL addition(s) and act accordingly.
