404 does not get L parameter. It is called exactly as you specify.

I said that you can do your own analisys of L. For example:

if ($_GET['L'] == '1') {
   $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['FE']['pageNotFound_handling'] = '/400-fr/';
}
else {
   $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['FE']['pageNotFound_handling'] = '/400-en/';
}

Same for database errors.

Not yet clear. I plan to search for all possible places with various 
error boxes and make centralized point where errors are handled. The 
bease will be the code for 404 processing. I.e. I think there will be 
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['FE']['databaseError_handling'] or similar.
