It certainly does. Thanks.

It looks like I have some more "SPIP-learning" to do then. 

I probably won't bother too much at the moment, but it would probably  
be a good idea for this to be very general and allow the web-master  
to add rules like:

If hostname == 'my.domain.com' then all RUBRIQUES loops should have:
	lang='zh'
	id_secteur=23
	id_mot=16

Indeed it is. Once I something working for my purposes, I'll commit  
it. What do you think is a good name? "Microsites" might be a little  
bit too restricted given the uses others have for it (especially the  
domain-based translation).

Can someone point me to a good example of the "state of the art" for  
writing plug-ins (I've seen the thread on spip-dev@, but haven't  
bothered to feed it to Google Translate yet). In particular, I've  
seen two or three different ways to handle installation, creating  
tables, etc. Which is the newest, best, most future-proof way?
