Sounds good. One should be able to refer to contents url in other "output
sets". These sets can also hold the information about the current output
language. (Just writing down my thougts on this subject :-).

What content should it return? Should it depend on the language setting or
always return some kind of default value? To me it makes more sense to 
make the return value dependent on the actual settings.


By for now, I have to rummage your source ;-).
