Stupid question, if having the ?uselang parameter can be done without
significant problems, wouldn't having javascript that just appeneds
?uselang= <whatevever its set to> to all internal links on a page
whenever the url for the current page has ?uselang=<something> also
not cause significant problems (well making uselang persist)?
(although then again, I'd imagine that would not be much different
then the use a cookie solution in terms of caching)
