yes, there is a reason. the reason is that when a page is saved the text
is parsed to find the defined languages and save the info as a page
attribute. this way the page get parsed only once (upon save) instead
than parse it each time it is referenced.
to do this the script searches for a (:if userlang xx:) inside the page
and just a (:en:) wouldn't be enough information for the script to know
that it is a language declaration.
i am thinking about a workaround, though, and this may change in the
future, i am already developing a new version.
