Because we want texshow to become a bit more generic, it would be
just a little bit nicer to have "if=cont-en", but besides that,
it works like a charm, thanks!

For the moment, I will assume that example language == interface
language (to put it another way: I do not keep language information
along with the interface definition at all).

That's fine, I still had code for that structure so this was
very convenient. The only extension I have made is that the
locally kept version is stored with an extra attribute:

	<cd:explanations ... timestamp="1111234567">
