Alphabetization in tagadelic and menu modules

I have implemented a tag cloud as the main navigation structure for our web site, but it doesn't look quite as fabulous as I'd hoped b/c Tagadelic alphabetizes capitalized tags separately from non-capitalized tags. It would be much better if the alphabetization system integrated both capitalized and uncapitalized tags as if they were a single alphabet (which they are!)

Why you should not use a flag as a symbol of language

Yesterday I found this article: "Flag as a symbol of language - stupidity or insult?". I think the author has very valid points.

So the i18n development team might consider removing the flags from the laguage block or provide an option to use the name of the language in stead.

url alias administration - list by first letter in url

I tried to post this as a feature request for the URL alias module but it wasn't listed as a choice in the list of "projects" so here it is. I administer a site that has about 1000 url aliases and growing at about 100 a week. The default way to administer these is just a huge list with a pager. If I need to edit an alias, I need to "guess" where it might be in the list and it usually takes me at least 10-20 pages to find it.

Extensions

I think it would be a much better idea if you used standard file extensions as some hosts like mine have extension restrictions in place.

Why a seperate database per site ?

Why create a seperate database per site ? Why not have the tables that are site specific be partially keyed on a site identifier. In that manner you have one database and one set of tables per site. I would think that this would make maintenance and upgrades easier and you still get seperation of site specific content. Is there a reason why this would not be a good idea ? I am thinking in the context of having 1000's of sites. The only concern that I can think of is the node table getting huge and affecting performance.
