Helge, but this is also a typical example where the original translator sticked to much to a word by word translation. imho it is also okay to translate "framework" with »System«. What we need to do is to get the meaning across the way it was supposed by the English author. Just my 2 Cents (also mein Senf ;-) -- I do not want to go into a full depth discussion on this.
