it's written “ a typemap file will take precedence over the filename's
extension, even when Multiviews is on.”
This could be a bit detailed.
1) If there are both foo.html and foo.html.var files and the latter doesn't
mention the former, is foo.html ignored?
2) If Multiviews in on and there is a foo.var file saying
URI: foo
URI: foo.en.html
Content-type: text/html
Content-language: en
URI: foo.fr.de.html
Content-type: text/html;charset=iso-8859-2
Content-language: fr, de
and a foo.mn.html file, is this one served to a browser requiring Mongolian
language, or is it ignored because not mentioned in foo.var ?
This is a quite important point for websites becoming international. They used
to be of one language and not to use any language extension in file names, like
foo.html . Since "Cool URI don't change" (Tim Berners-Lee), such files should
not be renamed but rather assigned their particular language in the typemap
file. But is it for that required to describe the map of all other variant
files, named with a language extension, like foo.mn.html ?
