I hope you mean "version" when you say "encoding".

With that reading, I know just what you mean -- it's a very tricky 
problem.  It's my feeling that there are solutions, but they all have 
reliability and simplicity as /competing/ goals, and you can't get one 
without giving up part of the other.

I'm tending toward believing that a system that keeps a dozen translations 
of perlfunc wonderfully in sync, would be a bloated disaster if applied to 
smaller projects (namely, a small module with one doc in English and 
another in Italian, for example).
