No, it would be valid and better HTML -- I wouldn't dream of
proposing something that wasn't vaild HTML unless there was a very
good reason!
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/links.html#adef-hreflang
For example the source for the first entry looks this way:
* Die {{[jump="http://openmusic.linuxtag.org/"]OpenMusic}}-Initiative
konzentriert sich auf die Erstellung von {{2:Lizenzen für Musik}}.
Die Initiative ist auf die Frage ausgerichtet, wie mit Musik Geld
verdient werden kann.
After the `jump' attribute I could consistently add another one and
produce (next to) any HTML we find useful.
OK, I understand, the templating stsyem you are using for generating
HTML doesn't allow additional attributes to be added to link
elements.
I guess the thing to do along the lines of what I suggested but in
keeping with the style of HTML would be to add a little [EN] icon
after each english link:
<a href="/img/en.gif" alt="English language link">
This is a bit off-topic but it's the main bit of Free software that
has been released by the guys I work with and it is, IMHO, the
coolest way of doing HTML templates:
http://search.cpan.org/search?query=Petal
It allows XHTML templates to be written where all the templating
instructions are attibutes of existing elements.
