I don't like the idea that languages are associated with national 
entities. It's only a rough match at best. Are you going to include 
flags of every French-speaking country for the French one, for instance? 
Or insult some French-speaking countries by leaving them out?

I'll create new ones based on the originals then.

I haven't changed that bit at all:

<http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/index-toc.html>

but I agree, it needs fixing. Will do.

I guess so, if everybody thinks it's a good idea. I just lifted the 
actual index lists from the existing page. I think personally I like it 
as it is -- go to the chapter, or inspect the chapter, rather than click 
over and over again to drill down.

Agreed.
