That's a good example. Blah!
In general, my feeling as an architecter is that language is a
property of a particular document instance which is on the same level
with a format. A single document ID may have multiple formats and
multiple languages, and multiple formats in multiple languages, or
whatever. I still think this is the way to go, even if there is
content divergance in a small bit of the text for some documents, like
your example here. Thoughts?

Yes... well, 'url' is a much better name, since that what it is. URLs
have their own standard, and they are not HTML-specific, i.e., other
SGML DTDs and formats support them.
You've convinced me this should be an allowed format type in doc-base.
