Jukka wrote "even if a bilingual _site_ might be". I took "might" as "it
might be, but it could also be otherwise". So therefor I asked what the
downside would be.
But you are probably write in stating that I just misunderstood Jukka.
Anyway, I agree that a bilingual page (as you stated, with both languages
on one page) is a bad idea, with the possible exception of some cases.
Thanks,
