In particular, sorting by national flag icons. It and fr are very, very, close, image wise. Same with hu and nl. With multi-national languages a web user may not recognize the Spanish flag, (as they live in a south american nation), so they have to click and guess, rather than read "Español, Francaîs, Deutsch," etc., or use a dropdown that lists the languages.... Which leads me to another nagging question. The buttons for contents, up, quick ref... all english? -Bop -- Brought to you from iBop the iMac, a MacOS, Win95, Win98, LinuxPPC machine, which is currently in MacOS land. Your bopping may vary.
