Need for preferred locale in URL to support proxy caching *For scalability reasons and to support external proxy caching, a users' preferred locale (for users that are reading without being logged in) must be in the URL. Right now, this is not in TikiWiki, and I (Nelson) had to do it specially for Mozilla. Will merge in when I have time. !!!
