No, it#s a bad idea. Why should we should the user a German title if the
document is in English? If he don#t understand English, he can#t read the
document, so why do we need a German title?

So what? I don#t understand that. There#re a lot of files in /usr/doc
that#re not documentation. And the user won#t see the files. For example
apache includes its .htaccess files in the html directories.
MB> therefore it has nothing to do in /usr/doc.
??? Ok, please delete all metadata informations (RDF, <link> tag) from the
HTML files in /usr/doc. And please don#t forget do delete all images.

Could you explain the reason? dot files are a standard for local
configuration files (see for example apache).
MB> (d) It would be a dot file then, and I hate dot files.
Nice argument :).
MB> (e) It is not documentation.
Not true.
