The Handbook DTD migration is about to make this a little more consistent,
since I'm taking the opportunity to create a doc/en hierarchy.
Right now it justs consists of doc/en/handbook and the files in there
(currently unbuildable, since I'm partway through the conversion process).
When the conversion process is complete I'll remove doc/handbook and
start on doc/faq (although there's nothing to stop someone else
starting on doc/faq in the meantime).
This will (presumably) make things a little easier, since we can then
have
doc-all
doc-base
doc-en
doc-en-faq
doc-en-handbook
doc-ja
doc-ja-faq
doc-ja-handbook
and so on.
Is it possible to use a scheme like this to create meta-collections
that don't have a 1:1 mapping to the directory structure? For example, a
doc-handbook collection that consisted of doc-en-handbook and
doc-ja-handbook?
