O.k., so not even between the update cylcles (so the page won't be run
a second time)? Well, you got more experience with this, and I think I
understand the problems/dislikes there. On the other hand, if I find
typos in the english version, shouldn't I update them, too? Of course I
still won't make commits just for adding the </p>, but if it goes with
typo-fixing. Or I might annoy the maintainer of the english pages
(whoever that might be - hints welcome ;) - it's not on
/devel/website/translation_coordinators

Alright - as said above you might be correct. But it annoys me when I
see stupid formating that seems to lack the basic html knowledge. It
*hurts* (and I'm not really talking about missing </p> currently).

It's not always obvious where a paragraph should be closed. Like - can
a <hX> be in a paragraph and so on. It should help the browser too to
render it better and faster, I guess.

I might be going to send thosepeople that update english pages without
adding them a mail for each file. Feel free to be annoyed, maybe the
one or the other gives in and adds the tags the next time ;)
So long,
