Oh, you Linux guys are always so sleepy... Must be something to do with
staring at the command line all day long. :-(
Needless to say, I'm joking.
Thanks very much for the reply. I agree with you: folder structures
communicate so much more than filenames. You can quote me on that...

Great description for a technical writer, Michael. Fantastic. Bra Vo.
What I meant to say was something more like "I'd really favor the model
with
all the localized files contained within individual, per-language
subdirectories under a top level directory to contain all the various
localizations."
Or something. I don't like the sound of that either, really.
I'm sleepy.
