You are welcome. Thanks for merging it. :-)

Because it is the natural way considering all other translations,
we use it in Debian Women Wiki, we use it in CVS webwml, D-I Manual,
Debian Doc CVS, there is always subdirectories with the other languages.

Sorry, I can't. That's my argument based on my experience with
i18n/l10n. I can tell you that it is more consistent with the Name
Space, because it doesn't polute it, FrontPage will always be FrontPage,
doesn't matter the language, probably, build statistics and l10n tools
on top of this models would be easier, considering po4a and this model.

IMHO the <PageName><Language> was a natural extension of the
wiki model and an inheritance from wikis that doesn't support URLs
that looks like folders.
There is another point that need to be considered that is
related with the Content Negotiation, MoinMoin supports it in some
way and it probably needs to be considered while defining the
recommended procedure for Debian Wiki.

Nice, probably once it is ready it has a great chance to
become the new default. Thanks for your work on this.
