1. From http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/content-negotiation.html#naming I expected that I would be able to ask for http://nicku.org/index and get the negotiated content, and that I would not have to ask for http://nicku.org/index.var Is this understanding correct?
No. That section applies to MultiViews, while you are using typemaps. It is probably possible to combine MultiViews and typemaps, but I wouldn't recommend it because the interactions could be complicated. Rather, I'd suggesting renaming index.var to just index and using ForceType/DefaultType or something like that to mark it as a typemap.
4. Could there be any interaction between using SSI and content negotiation together?
Yes, but you are probably safe using typemaps. With MultiViews, you need to make sure that the files are marked with their final content-type, etc, before they are processed with SSI.
5. If I want the entire web site to use content negotion, do I need to create a corresponding type-map file foo.var for each foo.shtml/foo.sxhtml and foo.html/foo.xhtml pair? (I have written a little Perl program to do that at http://nicku.org/software/gen-type-map)
Yes. There are other, more-complicated alternatives, of course.
