 This is rather an example than a real rule.  It can apply to future
versions, too.  Shall we write "DSA XXX and DSA XXX+2, now where is DSA
XXX+1?"

 I don't think that that would be much clearer or else.  I personally
would leave it the way it is.  It should be quite obvious that the
questions are usual standard questions that come somewhat "along the
lines", and not neccesarily *exactly* in the way they are written down.

 If you have a sugguestion beside the above change (which is nonsense to
me) how to clearify that it would be not misunderstandable it would be
appreciated.

 So long,
Alfie
