Hrm, interesting.  I was unaware of these issues.  The suggested default
behavior for wikisources sounds like a good thing but doesn't solve the real
problem.  A work that has translations in several languages including one that
doesn't have a subdomain will have sidebar links for all the others but not for
the one(s) at multilingual wikisource. This can include major authors, some of
whom have have their original works at mul.ws for copyright policy reasons but
translations at en.ws.

For general interwiki links (that show up in the text), [[:oldwikisource]]
works, though it has an undesirable name.

We have a js workaround on en.ws for the sidebar issue but it isn't in common
use and is fairly awkward to implement. 
[[s:en:MediaWiki:Multilingual-link.js]]

I'm not quite sure that I understand what would be wrong with general
implementation.  "mul" is a valid ISO 639-2 language code to designate multiple
languages.  Having it show up in preferences seems trivial, no body would
likely choose it and if no translations are created at translatewiki it will
just display default english won't it?  Having it work on all wikis would be of
little consequence because there'd be no use for it so it would go unused and
if someone did use it for some reason it would direct to the incubator on any
project other than a ws, if I understand you correctly.
