1. I think the original was clearer (though I prefer YYYY to CCYY).
   What should I type for <YEAR>, 1984, 84, or Nineteen Eighty-Four?
2. The angle brackets around the e-mail address are lost.
3. ``Copyright (c) CCYY YOUR NAME HERE <user@your.dom.ain>'' is
   obvious enough and does not need an explanatory note.
