Sorry for using the wrong terminology. Thanks for clarifying. :-) What I want 
is ideally to use commas instead of dots with the multiviews option.

Would I have to create multiple type-maps, or can I spesify more resourses in 
one map? For example, would I have to have both [../resource.var] spesifying 
that the English version is at [../resource,en.var] and then have a map at 
[../resource,en.var] saying about the same thing? (I do negotiation for format, 
language, charset, and compression.)

No, it is just a different approtch to multiviews.
