dhandlers and Language

I've just written a perl module to do component level language negotiation.

At present it expects to be used from within a dhandler - a request for '/index.html' will look at the Accept-Language header from the client, and try to grab the best match for the client's request (perhaps /index.html.es or /index.html.en-us).  It allows you to override your browser's Accept-Language by starting your URI path with a language code. i.e.:
http://www.foo.com/es/index.html
will look for /index.html.es first, regardless of your Accept-Language preferences.

The idea is that every component can have language specific versions, and mason will grab the best match, on a component by component basis.

This works on the top level right now, but needs to happen for every component.

a) Can I get dhandler functionality for all component requests, not just the top level?

If not,

b) would it be better to do this in the Resolver, and if so, what should I override?

cheers,
ben
