If the links have this attribute added:
<a href="http://example.com/";
hreflang="en"
Is it possible to specify several languages this way?
No, in (X)HTML elements can only have one language specified using
lang="", xml:lang="" and hreflang="". However with HTTP multiple
languages can be specified with the Content-Language header. For
more on this see:
Language information and text direction

How do browsers typically process this tag?
Ignore it of course! Perhaps Mozilla might do something with it one
day... (nitpick: it's a attribute not a tag :-)
There is something I like about www.gnu.org and www.debian.org:
The localized versions of these sites are kept parallel, with foot
notes on each page, linking the corresponding other versions:
"This page is available in [English] [French] [German] [Italian]
[Russian] and [Spanish]"
Yes that is a sensible structure.
On the Debian web site, it is even possible to let the browser
select which version to display initially.
That will be done with Content Negotiation / MultiViews I guess:
Content Negotiation
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/content-negotiation.html
To do things like this would require some kind of content
management, and I don't know which solutions are available.
No just a regular copy of Apache :-)
