Hmmm, I checked the HTML files, and they were edited with various programs
like StarOffice. OTOH it has DocBook-style IDs. Do you know how Thorsten
can be contacted?

AOL. At the moment, I guess it is preferable. But I wouldn't blame any
translator for using a more comfortable tool (LyX, TeXMACS?). Since it is
more or less the idea to keep translations off-site, we don't have much
control over it anyway. As long as it looks, walks, and quacks like the
Guide :).
