I will address to that :) Honestly, I did not understand everything either 
because he went into the technical part of his ideas, thus I did not know 
which information is crucial for coders and what is.. not so important, so I 
posted his lenghty email in the whole. But you're right, I did not think 
about the translators in this very moment :(
You re probably happy to hear that the next 3 articles I'm on are short n 
sweet.
thank you for your hard work,

Juergen.
