******************
* In the section on printf specifier orders
(eg, grep for "lang ist die"), the manual explains that
the routines in msgfmt know about this special notation.
It seems to me more important that the runtime behavior
work with this special notation. I see in the gettext
source that you have a private printf implementation
    vasprintf.c
which works with this notation -- what about exposing that
function for the programmer of the final package to access ?
I (as a programmer using the gettext library, which I plan
to become) would make use of it.

******************
* In the same section appears this sentence:
"If this is not the case a
warning will be given and the error cannot causes problems at runtime."

This sentence has a grammatical problem (->"cannot cause"), but
what may be more pressing, I cannot understand what it means.


******************
* "algorithm used is fairly
dependent of GNU"
 -> "algorithm used is fairly dependent on GNU"



Cordially,
Perry
