It would be usefull to add something like a menu option, where you can select an
alternative document based on what is specified in the current (X)HTML-document
(in this case language):

<LINK title="The manual in Dutch"
      type="text/html"
      rel="alternate"
      hreflang="nl" 
      href="http://someplace.com/manual/dutch.html">

Also see one of the specs (there might be more recent ?):

Just an other thought: as RSS (in the form of application/rss+xml) is already
supported, maybe it can be added the same menu in the buttom right corner ?

Tht was part of the Site Navigation toolbar in the Suite, but that's not part of
Firefox (bug 187488).
