My head is splitting :) And regarding the longish list of graphical context,
I too considered it problematic only for programmers, didn't even think
about what Arnold is saying, that it may be also harder on translators.

On the top of it, I myself no longer favor even @tooltip or @whatsthis, but
would rather have them @info, as in the original proposal.

So... we continue the exhausting point-by-point compromise? Perhaps, but I
have an addenum in mind that may allow us all to have the cake and eat it :)
But it requires more coherent presentation and some soothing, so I'll
rewrite the parts of the Techbase article, and report here when I do so.
