>This is then put in a <META> tag at the top of the page like this

Thanks, went ahead and implemented this solution. All non-iso-8869-1
localizations will now have a <META> tag denoting the character set.
Polish is the first such localization I've encountered. :)

Ok, now I'm going to grumble a bit:

  * it's the 21st century and we still don't have unicode everywhere

  * it's the 21st century and we still don't have email
    headers specifying language, making automatic localization
    of email archives highly improbable.

On the bright side, the two extra localizations are now live. German
and Polish users can now submit names of lists that should be
localized.

As for the monthly granularity with MHonArc.

Pro:
  Immediate speedup of MHonArc
  Already implemented on per-list basis
      (see http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu)
  Secondary benefits from increased disk caching due to lower
      memory use by MHonArc.

Con:
  Some contortion required if I don't want to break existing URLs
  Adds human interface complexity
  Adds program level complexity
  Lose any lobbying power I might have had towards increasing
    MHonArc scalability through windowing
  It feels kludgy and requires me to reverse years of stubborness. :)
  
The other obvious software wins include ignoring "cold" lists better, and
switching to ReiserFS (although maybe that's not so easy and I should
wait for either the next disk upgrade, and/or perhaps a 2.4.x kernel that
incorporates it natively)
