This is something Igor and I have been discussing. Currently, the "key" for a page is a combination of its name and its locale. The name is one dimension, the locale is a second. By changing the API would could support multiple arbitrary extra dimensions. There would need to be some overridable services for resolving a raw resource to (what we now call) a localized one, applying rules for how the extra dimensions are used to locate specific resource files.
