But do I understand it well that the URI-s you posted are final?

Auke, it is not a hard requirement, that is why I did not want to come up with this on the 
mailing list. But it is certainly much better to do so. Beyond PB's point, also because it 
is much easier for a German reader to find his/her way in the original, if he/she wishes 
to do so. Ie, I would greatly appreciate if you could do this extra mile...

Thanks for your work

Ivan
