Is the lilypond.org server using apache and the mod_rewrite module? If so, 
this thread might help: 
http://www.nabble.com/mod_negotiation:-prefer-type-cookie--(as-prefer-language)-td15798239.html
You simply check for an existing cookie, and if it exists, you manually 
append .$(cookie-value).html to the pages (if that page exists), otherwise 
let mod_negotiation do its job... 

Even easier: If lilypond.org uses apache >= 2.0.47, the mod_negotiation 
already supports cookies:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/content-negotiation.html#better

The only think to think about then is how to set the cookie ;-)

Cheers,
Reinhold
