Hurm. I think this scheme is fine; I'm not sure exactly how basename
and topname interacts. For instance if my basename is 'doc-out/foo',
would my topname be 'doc-out/index' or 'index' ?
Could you suppress the creation of index.[LANG.]html entirely?
Suppose you have two documents, foo.sgml and bar.sgml, and you want to
have foo.html and bar.html in the same dir, co-existing...

I like this idea.

Yes -- if it would help get the first version out, it might be easier
to just skip the PIs for now? Your call.

Oh, yeah, if the source file is named with language indicator, true....

I agree this is a good idea. I don't think it would break too much to
enable this.
