Of course, but Anton would have to make sure that the cup and the paper
are one single work. Even in a paperless office, the coffee room
probably does contain paper, and if I have an Emacs cup and a vi cup,
both with extracts from their GFDL'ed manuals, I shouldn't mix the
sheets with the manifestos of both, should I? So Anton somehow has to
make sure the sheet of paper can't get away from the cup...
A votre santé, Frank
