Yeah, it's what I tried to do in my sample 'port' of the old website. 
Francois' system was actually pretty good, separating common unchanging 
content from editable content from translatable content. I tried to 
improve that a little by using more php arrays.

It's still a bit too complex for my liking. You can download the sources
