Indeed, that was what I was wondering about too.  Without actually 
trying it out, my guess would be that it would indeed work, but at a 
cost: it'd first parse all the 75 or so subtemplates and then throw all 
but one of them away.

Of course, that's what one would have to do anyway, to get full link 
table consistency.

It does seem to me that it might not be *that* inefficient, *if* the 
page were somehow cached in its pre-languageconverted state but after 
the expensive template parsing has been done.  Does such a cache 
actually exist, or, if not, could one be added with reasonable ease?
