Yay!  Somebody with CVS access will need to do this, I guess.

Notes:

I'm not sure if #use wml::debian::url is still necessary in the changed
vendors.CD.def

I was also unsure about adding title tags:
First, it would probably have required me to possibly place each
<td>data</td> into its tag with rather ugly logic with <ifeq>.  Second,
it would have hugely increased the size of the already-large page
significantly (adding the same two "yes" or "no" explanatory sentences
to every <td>).

As another accessibility improvement, I wanted to add a summary
attribute with "This table describes Debian media vendors in [country]
based on their ..." to each table, but I was unsure about how to handle
translations for that without having a different string for every single
country.

The latest patch is at
http://debian.riczho.dyndns.org/test/vendors-6-ricky.patch
If this is useful, the script to convert the old vendors.CD format to
the new one is at http://debian.riczho.dyndns.org/test/parsevendors.pl
(warning: the openIdeas requires manual editing because its <ship> value
doesn't match the convention with the rest).

Thanks,
Ricky
