I agree with Adam that language is just another format of the very same

The documents should be merged back to the same content, or they should be
diverged to two completely different documents. If the extensions are only
language specific, there is no problem.

Refering to the title is suboptimal. The Doc ID is the only entry that is
granted to be unique.

Or to the Debian Home Page, as I suggested.

It was just that I will not only have section registrations in the ddh, but
also a url entry for the Debian Home Page.

I like "url" more (see Adam).

I prefer to mention it, even if it is the default.

Yes, I am sure that we need Title and Abstract. We already agreed that
newbies can switch on abstracts, and profs can live without them.

Well, maybe I've changed my mind. I'm not sure about this, mabye I don't
care.
