Good thinking, I tend to agree. Then you could take hints from headers/cookies if available.

Maybe a simple macro or sub in the stash:
  href="[% link('/foo/bar') %]

This still requires you to add TT to all of your links, but maybe it's more managable from a usage standpoint.

Perhaps if TT support some kind of a source filter (pre or post). Though, I'll bet that would require being pretty careful in your implementation to get the regexes right.


I'll be interested to hear what comes out of this. Good contextual support (language in this case) is something I'm starting to wonder about.
