Apropos of nothing.  Given a request with no language, yes, it will
serve.  But in the grand scheme, .html.html aught be treated as whatever
one sets their DefaultLanguage to, which would undermine the original
workaround.

In any case, given multiple requests of equivilant 'quality' - we should
suggest MULTIPLE CHOICES by default, override by LanguagePriority if the
admin desires.

Any which way, I'll try to wrap a patch this weekend, hopefully tommorow
morning.  It's been a rough week...
