This is a problem I don't really how to deal with. The same problem appeared 
for kmail.

The problem with a doc split into parts is that each part can have different 
translators, so I needed a place for ROLES_OF_TRANSLATORS and for 
CREDIT_FOR_TRANSLATORS tags. Since in a huge doc, nothing prevents each part 
from having its own authors too, I thought that the logical answer was to add 
a credits section in each part.

Apparently that was wrong, or at least inhabitual. Feel free to correct that 
any way you like in konqueror and kmail. Lauri, if you have suggestions, or 
if you could tell me how you usually deal with that, they are welcome.

Probably. I don't know. As I said, feel free to correct it, and please accept 
my apologies for the inconvenience.
