IMHO we will have to move towards

        AddCharSet Foo          .foo
        AddLanguage Bar         .bar

and name files

        index.foo.bar.html

So 
        index.latin1.fr.html            french          iso/latin1
        index.big5.tw.html              taiwanese       big5    

and so on. As there are numerous countries which can use more than one
characterset to deal with the same language.

The nicests thing would be to have _everything_ in UTF7, UTF8 or unicode
and generate all of the above from that.
