No. Development on this part of the specs has not yet begun, so we can
still choose a different approach.
I've read your comments. You make some valid points, though your
alternative also has some issues (maintenance of an additional page
per set of language versions, ease of editability, choice of an
arbitrary title for the Lang: page, etc.). It also has some advantages
which you did not name: single history of all language link
transactions, ease of bot updates.
I think you're right about the problems of intuitively understanding
the linked list approach. I'll have to think a bit more about it,
especially the UI issues of editing two pages, but I tend to side with
your proposal. I'll talk it over with Dominic (the contracted
developer of MLMW) later today, and post something on Meta soon.
