True. But this would create the situation where a link in an html file includes the root folder (e.g. href="/en/homepage.html") and is then resolved to a different URL (e.g. "/homepage.html"). My understanding is this is bad practice WRT Search Engine Optimization. If I here otherwise, this could be a good solution. Although, I still prefer the solution to remain within Magnolia.
