o.k., so the baseline is: It'll compiles (=renders), so it'll work?

Well, that is subjective.
*) # of spaces: right *now* rendered the same, but often wrong
(because both one and two spaces are used), just by chance rendered
to some wrong/right value.

quote signs, so strictly speaking using " is wrong.

As long as I can, I'll always fix the (latin-based) translations as
well. And I try to be precise in my changelog entry.
So what I see is that there are things broken, but only "slightly",
and those rules are unwritten and I simply have to find out. Whenever
I get a mail from you, I hit such a "slightly" bug and will have to
add it to my local blacklist.
So I'll start out with
*Number of spaces after . ! , ?
*Number of spaces in href=" "
*Do not insert <q>
(though I find the last one unfortunate).
Greetings
Helge
P.S. Hopefully the decisions are made soon, so that those bugs can be
fixed again properly also in the English version
