Yes. It is possible to create a mixed-style document with
semantically contradictory and untested behaviour as well,
but IMHO we don't need to care about that :-)

Yes.

I don't mind whatever name it has. Do you have any suggestion?

I don't know about this so I can't comment. (If there _is_
anything to know, that is: maybe these language names are
just strings with no meaning except to humans, in which case
(if it is consistent though the library) I suppose that e.g.
"color" instead of "colour" implies USA, right?)

Grzegorz, are you working in these files (makedoc.c, makechm.c,
makehtml.c, makedoc.h, makehtml.h) so you prefer them unchanged
for the moment, or can I apply the patches? (I'm not in a hurry
as long as it gets done before current CVS gets released, so
don't feel stressed to finish anything :-)
