You have my fully agreement on this point :)
I would suggest: /stylesheet.php /css/common.css /css/(charset|language|some-identifer).css Stylesheet.php should include common and the correct other stylesheet. And it would be called as:
<link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="/stylesheet.php?charset=en" />
Well the only things that may differ inside the stylesheet from one language to another are the font face and the font size. Then I'm not sure three file are required. Moreover you know how crappy is NN4 with CSS: for example a child selector rarely inherit the rules applied to its parent. In our case it means the font face may have to be repeated inside each of the selector defnition. With this is mind, I'm unfortunatly not sure a common css can be used. Actually we faced the problem with phpMyChat, that's the reason why I can detail.
My suggestion is only one file (let's say 'stylesheet.php') called this way: <?php $css_url = urlencode("/stylesheet.php?fontFace=$strFontFace& textDirection=$strTextDirection"); ?> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $css_url; ?>" />

I'm going to start a conversion over into using XHTML & add the DTD tags myself. A few minor guidelines to anybody doing more work can be seen here. http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/. XHTML 1.1 is already in the works, but it won't be too much of a change once we have have XHTML 1 working. A quick summary of XHTML precautions to take: ALL tags are lowercase. tags must NOT overlap ALL tags must exist either as a pair <li></li> OR as a tag with a trailing slash <br /><img />. The trailing slash method is recommended due to how NN handles </br>. ALL attributes must be quoted, double quotes are preferred. <img src="boo.png" /> Attributes must be NOT minimized <dl compact="compact"> All script elements must either be wrapped with a CDATA or made external. <script> <![CDATA[ ... unescaped script content ... ]]> </script> See this document for the definetive list: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#diffs
Our offical DTD header block is now <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
With the nessecary substitutions per language in 'encoding', 'xml:lang' and 'lang'.

The idea I had, there exists a common CSS file, that does NOT comply for the NN4 parent bug. The PHP file reads it in, and spits out a new one that is complete, rather like the CSS validator by W3. As a result, we only have to maintain the common one and one per language, and the PHP file spits out a combined one, that could even be customized per browser.
Text direction and font face are a function of the character set. Thus we only need to know the character set to call the stylesheet.php. <?php $css_url = "/stylesheet.php?charset=".urlencode($charset); ?> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $css_url; ?>" />

It seem to have some problem with this bzip2 extension.
