This is why index.html.fr is wrong, period. When we began, we should have begun using index.fr.html. Yes, I know the side effects, and if we must program around them, we should start. It would be good to be able to specify index.fr, index.html.fr, or index.fr.html and come up with the same page. But the final suffix should be the final word on the mime type, not the encoding. Bill
