Well, Thomas usually tries to avoid new strings in the Branch as much 
as possible and only agrees to their introduction if they are related to 
fixing important bugs  which keep the program from working properly. He 
usually does _not_ agree to more or less cosmetic changes. The latter would 
include (IMO) small usability glitches like this one:

---
"Also a small sentence at the beginning of this paragraph saying "don't 
forget to type <userinput>file:</userinput>. For example, " would make the 
whole thing clearer."
---

If we start fixing all the "small things that would make another thing 
clearer" we would invite the addition of tons of new strings. That's out of 
the question for the branch, considering the very sporadic message merges 
in there and its main purpose of "letting teams catch up on translations".

Therefore, I would ask you to have another look at this list of proposed 
fixes and only fix the real important stuff (like broken links) that keep 
existing features from working as they should.

Regards,

Thomas
