Yes, that's much more obvious. As long as there is a unique URL to point
people to the site in a specific language, all is fine. (e.g. I want to
be able to say to the Germans: Go to www.gnucash.org/de/)

Yes, as discussed on IRC I much prefer this solution. Some short style
guide (whether to use <h2> or <h3> or whatever) should be added to the
top-level README, and then everything is fine.

Oh, SVN will actually checkout them as symlinks! Didn't know that were
possible. Interesting.

Yes; "even" the encodings work correctly :-)

Thanks a lot! Great work!
