+Is it possible to render more than one destination page from the same source page?
+That is, same source, slightly different presentation at the other end, needing a different output file.
+
+I have two problems that would be solved by being able to do this.
+
+1. "full" and "print" versions of a page.
+
+One has a page "foo", which is rendered into foo.html.
+One also wants a foo-print.html page, which uses "page-print.tmpl" rather than "page.tmpl" as its template.
+
+I want to do this for every page on the site, automatically, so it isn't feasible to do it by hand.
+
+2. "en" and "en-us" versions of a page.
+
+My site is in non-US English.  However, I want US-English people to find my site when they search for it when they use US spelling on certain search terms (such as "optimise" versus "optimize").  This requires a (crude) US-English version of the site where the spellings are changed automatically, and the LANG is "en-us" rather than "en".  (No, don't tell me to use keywords; Google ignores keywords and has for a number of years).
+
+So I want the page "foo" to render to "foo.en.html" and "foo.en-us.html" where the content is the same, just some automated word-substitution applied before foo.en-us.html is written.  And do this for every page on the site.
+
+I can't do this with the "po" plugin, as it considers "en-us" not to be a valid language.  And the "po" plugin is probably overkill for what I want anyway.
+
+But I'm not sure how to achieve the result I need.
