First of all I don't think that it is desireable to have it in
independent variables, see above. If you have it independently you have
to assemble it. And that is errorprone.
['win', '2.0', '2.0.2',
'localized/de/2.0.2/OOo_2.0.2_Win32Intel_install_de.exe'],
['win', '2.0', '2.0.2 (inkl. JRE 1.5.0.06)',
'localized/de/2.0.2/OOo_2.0.2_Win32Intel_install_de_wJRE.exe'],
Here is where the info is contained.
OS is "win" (Windows apparently), version-id of the entry is "2.0", the
string that is displayed to the user is "2.0.2" or "2.0.2 (inkl. JRE
1.5.0.06)" and the rest is the path where on the mirror you can find it.
If you intend to provide different pages depending on whether the
version with JRE was chosen, simply use a version id of "2.0j" or
something similar.

3? At what script are you looking guys. It always seems to me that
you're refering to some completely different script than the one
currently in use on the german dl page.
It offers 11 "platforms", it offers ~7 version entries, it has more than
20 mirrors in its list. So what "3" are you refering to?

No, they were not workarounds at all! It would just be not to use the
arrays for what they are currently used, but to shuffle things around.
Why do you think these are workarounds? Just because I write that the
platform array will then host the languages instead?
Adding anothe dropdown to offer a language dropdown is just an
implemention detail.
