Unfortunately, it doesn't.  Witness the parallel discussion of
translating the manual into other languages.

Which is one (but not the only) reason why I asked repeatedly in this

confusing for more than one reason.  I think Stefan suggested "content
type" or something to that effect, which is better terminology, IMO.
