That's quite a fair assesement.

Looks nice, and it seems to work, but I'm not certain that I
follow all the steps.  More comments?  :)

Specifics:
- line 107 has an extra trailing )
- comments like lines 105 and 109 should probably read "get xrefs
  for english te?? manuals"
- I'm not certain if web is "a little bit special" (line 119) or
  not.  My initial instinct is that it's not special in this
  context.
